RE: CURRENT SURVEY

RE:   CURRENT SURVEY

I made a formal complain about this  survey viz:  “The Beach Chalet Letting Policy Survey has been limited to 28/01/11 09:00 to 11/02/11 17:00 -- the letter to tenants has only delivered on feb 4th. -- this breaches standard policy for the time allowed to duration -- and no pre-consultation with tenants as to introductory remarks or content of questions.:"

I had my conversation with Cllr David Smith after submitting my complaint.  I am thus hopeful that meaningful dialogue will continue.

Having said that, though, the issue (viz:  those residents of Saltdean on the Lewes side (east of Longridge Avenue) would be denied from applying for a hut )  is buried in the survey question 3 that emphasises " Do you think NON Brighton & Hove residents with existing tenancies should be allowed to continue to rent a chalet?"
-- that is a disgraceful leading question, as many "Brighton & Hove residents" do not realise that East Saltdean is NOT in B&H.
That  parochial agenda carefully fails to mention that much of B&H Council budget provides services to NON Brighton & Hove residents  eg parking! A simple extension to the boundaries allowing leaseholders to include East Saltdean post codes would be sufficient to temper that parochialism.
