You joined the forum on 03 December 2024.
The e-petition runs from 03 December 2024.

Conclusion: you joined our forum only to promote your e-petition. No other reason.

Your e-petition, which contains spelling and grammatical mistakes, doesn't actually say - why - you want to do this.
Neither does it give any detail on the advantages and certainly not the disadvantages, of merging Brighton and Hove. You just make it sound great, but without any meat or justification. There is no cost-benefit analysis whatsoever. None.

'while ensuring that Hove remains a distinct and vibrant district within the larger city.' How would you achieve this? There is no detail provided.
'Adopting this single name could boost the city’s appeal on a global scale, benefiting tourism and attracting investment.' How? Plan? Numbers? Projections?
'Locally, it could foster a deeper sense of unity, giving the city a bigger, more cohesive feel as it thrives under one name'. Examples? Ideas? You give none.

How much would it cost? What benefits would emerge? Timelines? Again, you provide no detail.

Are you a councillor? If so, you need to identify yourself, or at least give your background and experience, so that people can assess the idea objectively, in full transparency, openness and honesty.

In its current form, the e-petition is an absolute

Hello Eric,





Yes, I did join to promote the petition. I have a deep patriotism for my city and club. The reason I want this is because I want the city to be up there with the best in England same as our team . Our city often gets undervalued because Brighton and Hove are frequently seen as separate entities, which undermines us globally.





If this change happens, Brighton will be the biggest city in the South, fact. and to be honest, I’d love to see a sign saying, “Welcome to the City of Brighton.” That’s power. There definitely wouldn’t be any disadvantages, and we wouldn’t lose anything.





Put it this way—if a new hotel or residential development is available in Brighton, it’s naturally more appealing, isn’t it? As for costs, there’s no need to rush things, like changing all the street signs immediately. Hove would still be part of Brighton, but I’d love to see the first street sign with “The City of Brighton” on it .





I’m not a councillor; I’m just someone from Brighton. My first game was at the Goldstone Ground in 1993, a 4-1 win against Swansea. I went to Gillingham regularly, taking the bus from Hove, and now I’m a season ticket holder.

I now though, that for sure, you are on a wind up. Either that, or an ex from Poets Corner REALLY f***ed you over.

Whatever, well done. Top wooshing.

Ok that was weird spacing and repetition.

You’ve just convinced me that ‘Gava’ is a data gathering AI on the feasibility of building a hotel in Hove to see if it can get away with being marketed it as being ‘in Brighton’ to boost it’s tourist value and room cost .

Yeah ai convinced me to make this change

Whats that

 

[Triggaaar]

Well if we look geographically, Hove is actually in Brighton.

Eh? No it isn't. They used to be separate towns. Hove was never inside Brighton.

but its also about pride, and passion we want to be known as one of the best cities in England!

Brighton and Hove is the best city in England. Quite why you want to mess with that, I have no idea. I assume you're a Palace fan.

You can’t even remember what year your first ever game was (or you’ve got the year right but the opponents and score line wrong).

That was a long reply, but it didn't really say anything new. Cutting and pasting the perceived benefits is not good enough. Having been thinking about the idea for a long time, your idea is still surprisingly devoid of detail.

More importantly, you haven't even tried to answer any of my questions. Not one.

The questions I asked were just the first ones that occurred to me off the top of my head. They are only the most basic questions like where are the plan, business case, costings and timeframe. Others might be funding, risks, milestones, dependencies etc.

Expecting people to just accept it when you claim there no disadvantages, doesn't cut it. Of course there will be disadvantages. You need to list them and then say how you will overcome them.

I think that's enough for now. It's back to the drawing board or give up.

 

[Gava]

And in all honesty this isnt about money right now. We are gaging interested. Cities evolve and become bigger and better we if we want to be the most powerful biggest city outside of london in the south then this is how its done.
