FOPA Christmas update 2020
At last some good news to report – Two important FOPA campaigns have reached successful conclusions.

Many of us may find Christmas difficult this year, for lots of different reasons. Some community groups have provided some useful links to resources that may help in this time;
Tree pollarding in Palmeira Sq
Advanced notice of reduced parking in NW Palmeira Sq, on the 25th & 26th November 2020. Please note a large number of spaces will be required for this work and notices will go up as usual warning of the works and the spaces to be occupied.

There are many ways to show your appreciation for our amazing, brave key workers
Every Thursday evening at 8pm we’ll be standing up and applauding all those who care for us and are ensuring our world can keep on turning.
Tree pollarding in Palmeira Sq
Since July on behalf of FOPA residents we approached the council about the safety of the elm trees on the west side of the Square gardens. Raised on behalf of residents due to how the trees were bending/moving over in high winds. The surveyor’s report with recommendations has come back.
RIBA Hove Design Day, at Cornerstone Community Centre
The RIBA’s Hove Design Day on Saturday 19 October will be a free opportunity for everyone to meet local architects who do their kind of project. The architects will be at Cornerstone Community Centre, Church Road from 10.30am until 3pm for chatting through possibilities. Visitors just need to take along their thoughts and ideas, plus maybe some photos.
Residents object to later licence for Hove Lawns events
Events on Hove Lawns could go on for an extra half an hour if Brighton and Hove City Council approves its own licensing application. Friends of Palmeira and Adelaide also raised the issue of the licensing zones and recurring antisocial behaviour.
