IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!

We have a new BHCC ePetition and we need your help! This petition is to urge the council to maintain the 'outdoor and recreation and leisure use only' covenant on the land at Benfield Valley.

🔸️🔸️🔸️Please please sign the petition and share it as widely as possible🔸️🔸️🔸️

Go to: https://democracy.brighton-hove.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?ID=1023&RPID=410377060&HPID=410377060

Or go here and click on the ‘Save Benfield Valley’ link: https://democracy.brighton-hove.gov.uk/mgepetitionlistdisplay.aspx

We need as many people as we can get, who live in Brighton & Hove, to sign this so that we have a stronger case when it goes to the Land Tribunal (where we will represent Benfield Valley at the hearing).

You’ll need to register an account on the website, (just proves you’re a resident) but it should take no more than five minutes to sign.

This is our last and final chance to stop the proposed development from going ahead and to keep the valley a space for the community for generations to come.

We also have posters, please do print them off, put them up and help spread the word.

Thank you so much for your support!

The BVP Team 💚💚💚

Dog Walkers Beware, the grass seeds are very dry and are dispersing. These can be dangerous if they get into your dogs fur especially their feet or ears.
This one was removed from a doggy visitor yesterday by an emergency vet after the dog was very distressed .
Be careful out there !

Tough for plants (and people!) in this weather. But some of the Davis Park stalwarts are giving it their best go. Always bits of shade somewhere in the park too.

What a difference a couple of hours, a few friends and a pile of bark clippings can make 😊


Just one part of the park that the friends worked hard on today !

All we ask is that visitors respect and enjoy 🥰

If you glance to the left as you walk into the park along the tarmac path you will see this pretty allium which has escaped under the fence from a neighbouring garden. Nature finds a way!
