Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual General Meeting this week!

Our Chair shared the Annual Report, reflecting on another active and productive year for Hove Civic Society.

Although Lord Bassam couldn’t attend, we were delighted to welcome Cllr Birgit Miller, who gave an engaging presentation on the work of the Seafront Development Board and the ongoing improvements along our seafront — with valuable insights and context from Cllr Julie Cattell.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came along and continues to support our work in shaping Hove’s future.
