and what? I moved into Moulsecoomb 7 years ago, and I can tell you that there is more community spirit here than any other place I have lived. We have lived in Mile Oak, Portslade, Hove, Kemp Town and Whitehawk. I don't know why people decide that we are scum without even knowing us. I think if the pub was run properly it will be great.

The Bevendean was my local for years. It was a decent boozer - had Pompey Royal and Bass on the handpumps and a decent clientele (if you didn't mind the local chancers offering you hooky gear).

Good for them for getting this off the ground, Moulsecoomb is a big estate to be without a pub.

It's a typical problem, places keep their reputation long after the trouble has cleared. Where my Mum used to live in Hastings had an absolutely terrible reputation, despite everyone being friendly and kids playing in the street quite happily. Turned out all the trouble makers had been banged up years before.

The Bevendean Pub closure is nothing short of a disgrace. Regardless of what went on during its final months it was still used the locals and generally had a good atmosphere inside. Shutting the pub down becuase of the landlord's criminality deprived the locals of an all too rare meeting point in that area, and whilst many have moved on to the Moulsecoomb club that is now under threat.

Reality is the council (in concert with developers and brown envolopes) are all too happy to close pubs like the Bevendean down because they convert easily into housing units, (as far as I am aware it is already earmarked for student accomodation). This is against the wishes of the locals.

Pubs and estates are like football clubs will have there fair share of wankers...............you prove this point quite nicely.

Not a very wise choice of thread title me thinks , as others have stated of all the places i have lived i found it far and away the most friendliest of communities .

I live near Birdham road, not the nicest of places in Brighton. But I have never in the almost 5 years since living here had any problems. Mile Oak on the other hand....phoar, so many ***** it's actually unbelievable. However, not everyone there was. It was just that nasty housing estate 'hamilton close'.

Same. My family lived on the Highway for years until the Council turfed my aunt out. I've drunk in the Bev many times. It was good. Could get a bit hairy at times but no problem if you kept your head out of it.

Moved to Bevendean Crescent last summer and love the area. If you think Moulescoombe is a dodgy area you must really live a sheltered life!

The Bev was a great Pub. Had it's fair share of wronguns but what pub don't. To slag off the area and label it scum is a bit silly. I know millionaires who still live in Moulscoomb today. It may be a bit deprived in areas but what lacks in class it makes up for in community spirit. Without places like Scoomb, Whitehawk, Hollingdean, Mile Oak etc.. The Jeremy Kyle show would not exist. Now I don't know about you lot but that would ruin my mornings :annoyed:
