Welcome to our blog!

Lansdowne Area Residents' Association (LARA) was established more than ten years ago to provide a communal voice for residents in the area. Historically part of Brunswick Town, the majority of the properties are grade II listed. We use this blog to publish and share the latest news from our neighborhood.

POLICE WARNING: Police are warning residents to secure basement doors thoroughly as burglars seem to be targeting these areas. The police advise lights and radios to be left on while residents are out. If anyone notices suspicious activity, please phone 999 or 0845 60 70 999.

PARKING PETITION: The parking petition to merge parking zones M, N, O was on the Agenda at the Environment Cabinet Meeting on January 26th 2010. It was agreed that the Council will consider the merging of M and O and in due course consultation will take place.

BICYCLE RACKS: The bicycle racks at the bottom of Lansdowne Place, north, and Lansdowne south are nearing completion, after long lobbying by LARA for these.

20 M.P.H: LARA has been invited to send a representative to the 20 m.p.h. Scrutiny Panel to give evidence regarding this proposal.

REAL ESTATE BOARDS: An informal hearing will be held at Hove Town Hall in March to discuss the Community's response to the Estate Agents' Objections. LARA has written to the Department of Communities and Environment reiterating our strong support for the Council's proposal to ban the boards in Brunswick Town.

The new Chief Executive, John Barradell, accompanied by the Councillors, visited Brunswick and Adelaide Ward at the end of January, and walked all the different Resident Associations' areas; he listened carefully to all of our comments, both positive and otherwise.
