Brighton Town Hall - the future
Brighton Town Hall that we recognise today was built in 1830. The landmark building in the centre of the city was originally home to Brighton Town Commissioners and also housed the Police Station.
Everyone recognises the building but how many people actually know what goes on inside? We went into the city to ask residents and visitors what they think of Brighton Town Hall and we spoke to Leader of the Council, Cllr Warren Morgan about the plans for the building.
Inside, we carry out wedding ceremonies and the registration of births, deaths and marriages, as well as hosting full council meetings and coordinating electoral events.
Recently, the grade two listed structure is not being used to its full potential and has ever increasing maintenance needs.
To make better use the building and to provide value for money, we’re looking at what we could do to improve the building and develop a new ‘civic hub’. This might include; renovation, more focus on civic activity, continuing to host weddings, but also expanding its use to host events, include commercial business and feature modern conference facilities.
It’s very early days but we’re beginning to look into what can be done and initial proposals were passed by our Policy, Resources & Growth Committee on 23 March 2017.

Lend-It-All Man walks from Brighton #Buddhist Centre to the #Occupy #Brighton camp
On 13th December from 6-7pm, Lend-It-All Man will lead a workshop at the OCCUPY Brighton Camp on increasing the role of the sharing & gift economy, before going to the regulars class at Brighton Buddhist Centre, where he is optimistic of finding others to join/ shape a vibrant 'Dana Economy' in Brighton.
More hints as to what is an emerging sharing & gift economy at The alternatives to the economics of sharing & giving are...
And the reason for the track of music added into this film is twofold:
1) Problems adding the intended film
2) Serendipity in alighting on this track that I bring to mind to generate compassion
3) The link to 'how to want what you have' -
Lend-It-All Man walks from the Occupy Brighton Camp to Brighton Buddhist Centre
In this film, I respond (unscripted) to the stimuli of Brighton streets & I hinting about The New Society as envisaged by Urgyen Sangharakshita and those who are also inspired enough by his teachings to set up/support Buddhist Businesses, homes and centres.
This was filmed just before being interviewed by the BBC for 5 minutes; which I forgot to record myself! I speak as a co-director of Timebanking & Freelending CIC, wanting to recruit a team who will go to Brighton households and offer a free hour's help. Beneficiaries of this gift economy will be given information about the timebank, which they can join at the cost of 1 hour time debit for example.
Looking forward to timebank broker training with Timebanks UK in December 2011 and looking forward to finding Buddhists to move in with in 2012 in Brighton.
And the new team website:

Do you understand?
My second gift is a golden net.
Can you recognize it?
My third gift is a shepherds’ round-dance.
Do your feet know how to dance?
My fourth gift is a garden planted in a wilderness.
Could you work there?

Dare you accept them?
