JUNE–AUGUST 2009
Welcome to the fifth year
of the CMPCA . . .
. . . as we go forward strengthened by the well-attended AGM
on 21 April and the arrival of enthusiastic new Management
Committee members keen to make varied and positive contributions: full list of committee members (now 15 strong) on page 15.
outstanding concerns residents may
have’ – so let Cityclean know your
views as soon as possible. Residents
will have an opportunity to discuss
bins, re-cycling and other aspects of
waste collection with Mike Moon,
Head of Operations at Cityclean at
our meeting on Wednesday 17 June.
Future issues and concerns: we are
set to carry forward a street audit
‘for safety, convenience and design
appropriate to a Conservation Area’ as
discussed at our 18 March meeting
(see minutes at www.cmcpca.co.uk )
when residents agreed to conduct a
street by street survey to discover
what residents wanted to see in their
street – including the desirability of a
20mph speed limit throughout the
whole conservation area.
A review by Cityclean of the
communal bins’ scheme is due in
June and examines all residents’
comments logged about bin locations
which haven’t already been reviewed
due to urgent health and safety issues.
Cityclean Officers will collate
comments and ‘address any
Who are we?
The Clifton Montpelier and Powis
Community Alliance is a community
association for the Montpelier and
Clifton Hill Conservation Area. All
residents can call themselves members
and membership is free (for more information and streets included, see p15).
In September, Gil Sweetenham,
Schools Futures Project Director will
address the issue of growing concern
to city centre families: access for
infants to schools as close to home as
possible. As winter beckons, we hope
to have a meeting devoted to growing
your own and composting etc in
November. Adam Jones (Chair)

Nearly three years and three planning
applications after buying the former
Royal Alex site in late 2006, we await
with concern the final outcome of Taylor
Wimpey’s appeal against the rejection of
their third application in December 2008
to develop the site, which culminated in
a four day public inquiry in May. We
hope that the uncertainty hanging over
the site’s future will be resolved.
The CMPCA has played a leading role in
ensuring that the local community were
involved in the opportunities presented
by the departure of the Royal Alex from
its Dyke Road site. In 2005, we sought
listed status for the main building at a
time when no other local group was
interested in doing so. But English
Heritage, which in 1991 had said that “it
would be hard to argue that this building
was remarkable or of special interest,
either in terms of the building type or of
the design and detail”, turned us down.
Our first concern after Taylor Wimpey
bought the site in 2007 and submitted
plans was the lack of public consultation.

Hello again from PCSO Bobbi King
A word on safety. I must
reiterate to everyone,
especially the elderly, DO
NOT open your doors to anyone
you don’t know! If you’re expecting a
repair man or the gas or water man,
ALWAYS ask to see their identification,
and then put your chain on before you
open the door. If they are real, they will
show you ID without hesitation. If they
don’t have ID, don’t let them in, call the
police immediately and give them a
detailed description if possible, what
they were wearing, colour of hair, any
distinguishing features ie moustache,
beard, scars, tattoos. IF IN DOUBT . . .
KEEP THEM OUT!

With more people out and
about in the summer
weather . . . WATCH OUT
FOR PICKPOCKETS AND
HANDBAG DIPPERS. Be
aware of your surroundings
at all times. Keep your purses
and wallets secure, and your
handbags zipped up!
On a lighter note, if you haven’t
met the new PCSO for the Clifton,
Montpelier, Powis area yet, come
along to the surgeries before
CMPCA meetings and meet her.
Her name is Alena Martauzova

Taylor Wimpey await appeal result
After pressing the developers for nearly a
year, the CMPCA persuaded Taylor
Wimpey to hold their only public meeting
in May 2008. The wide variation in public
responses at that well-attended meeting,
evident again at our community meetings
(see meeting records at www.cmpca.co.uk),
shows that residents’ views about TW’s
plans are very diverse: some feel that
complete demolition negates the very
concept of a conservation area; others
note that in the absence of a viable
scheme for conversion it would be in the
community’s best interests for the latest
proposals to proceed; others actively
welcome the new proposals and cannot
wait to see the ‘ugly old building’ go. ViceChair John Riddington emphasised this

diversity of view at the Public Enquiry.
Our second concern was the impact of
the proposed Blocks at the northern
end of the site (hidden from public
view and debate) on 100s of neighbouring residents in the ‘Alex Triangle’:
Homelees House, Clifton Road, and
Clifton Hill. We actively facilitated discussions between these residents and the
developers which resulted in major
changes to the height and design of the
blocks that previously caused concern.
The CMPCA in its letters to planners (see
www.cmpca.co.uk) has consistently
reflected widespread agreement in the
community that the final scheme should
include a well-designed new doctors’
surgery to continue the tradition of
community health care on this site and
to meet the needs of residents and
partners in the Victoria Road surgery;
that outside appearance, materials used
and accommodation provided be of
high quality – poor design was one of
our key concerns and forms the basis for
the Council’s case at the public enquiry.
We have also consistently argued that
Section 106 monies should be used to
improve the St Nicholas Green Spaces.

10am–1pm Consultation event St Nicholas playground

Lucy Grout reports The St Nicholas playground is to be upgraded in
the first phase of the Council's £1.1m project to upgrade children’s play
areas in Brighton and Hove. Play areas will be designed to be more
adventurous, and expanded and refurbished to provide better facilities,
particularly for those between the ages of eight and 13 and those with
disabilities. A task group, including local children will oversee each
project. Come and make an input at the consultation event, with representatives of the Council Projects Team and Groundworks (contracted to
design the play space) and information about Playbuilder, the
nationwide Government Funded scheme which is funding the work.
Friends and neighbours who reclaimed the
St Nicholas Rest Garden for the community
must have felt gratified to see on a serenely
sunny (but chilly) May evening, the wellmown greensward crowded with playgoers
seated on cushions, rugs and folding chairs –
but not on tombstones. Eight youngish
strolling players/musicians from
Shakespeare’s Globe in Southwark acted all
the roles in the Bard’s shortest and most
farcical work, The Comedy of Errors. This
involved ingenious and occasionally hilarious
doubling and trebling of parts; the audience
cheerfully colluded in this breaking of
theatrical illusion. The posh identical twins
(who meet only at the end) were played by
the same actor. But even his frenetic antics
were surpassed by the sturdy leading
comedian who acted both the low-born
twins – often simultaneously.

Good-bye Wine Lodge – Hello to The Corner Shop
Upper North Street resident Chris Langdon writes:
A new corner shop has been quietly
opening up on the corner of Upper
North Street and Dean Street and it’s
getting an increasing number of local
customers, many of whom – like me –
avoided the old Wine Lodge. From
June the shop will be back
painted in the original pastel
green and it will have a new
sign: The Corner Shop. It will
be open from 7.30 am until
11pm. The shop’s been
opened by a friendly couple,
Chandran and Nadheera,
who live over the shop with
their two young children –
with one more on the way.
Their oldest son is going to
St Mary Magdalen Primary
School.
Chandran says “Our aim is
to cater to local community
CHANDRAN AND NADHEERA
needs – newspapers, milk and bread,
chocolate and sweets and also basic
groceries – soon we will have some
frozen food. For summer we sell ice
cream and charcoal for BBQs and
good wine – whatever local people
want. We’ve just got a terminal for
credit cards and from June we can do
phone top-ups”.
If it’s quiet, Chandran may show you
the elegant cast-iron Victorian bread
oven they found in the basement,
dating from 1848. The shop was
owned then by a greengrocer who
baked his own bread, he says. The
shop’s going full circle. It’s not so easy
setting up a business in the midst of the
recession, but Nadheera says “We want
a local grocery – not a wine lodge”.
Local residents like me will be watching
with interest.
Windmill pub licence issues
Neighbour and Street Rep John Riddington writes:
The Windmill is a long established
and popular pub. It received its first
full licence in 1828 and the current
building dates from that time (S Myall:
The Victorian Development of the
Clifton, Montpelier and Powis Estates
of Brighton, Pomegranate Press,
2008). In recent times the pub has
however caused problems for some of
its neighbours and a recent licence
change might exacerbate the
situation. The problems primarily relate
to noise, both from inside the pub
when the door and windows have
been open, but more often from
outside when customers are in the
terrace area or waiting for taxis late at
night. The situation worsened as a
result of the smoking ban.
Recently the Windmill sought a licence
change, extending its permitted hours
by one hour to 1am between Sunday
and Thursday and to 2am on Fridays
and Saturdays with an additional half
hour allowed for drinking-up. In
addition the Windmill sought a
permanent music licence up to 11pm.
Unfortunately the Council allowed the
pub to publicise this change by means
of a notice on the pub’s door, despite
government guidance that such
notices should be able to be clearly
read from the premises boundary.
Luckily one local resident saw the
notice, walked onto the pub terrace to
read it and was able to lodge an
objection before the deadline, which
stopped the application from being
simply rubber-stamped. Many other
residents were angry that they did not
learn about the application until after
the deadline and around forty
indicated that they would have
objected had they known. Around 10
of these residents attended the
licensing panel hearing, in order to
demonstrate their feeling on the
matter and to provide support for the
sole objector. Despite the objections,
5
the licensing panel agreed the
proposed licence changes but did
impose some important conditions.
These include forbidding outside
drinking, removing outside seating
after 11pm, and keeping the pub’s
door and windows shut. Unfortunately
the first time the music licence was
used the noise level was so high that
two residents independently contacted
the council, which resulted in a council
officer attending, who later confirmed
that the pub was in contravention of
its licence because of the level of
noise. In future the pub will need to
restrict noise to acceptable levels
when using its music licence and will
have to strictly comply with its other
licence conditions if local residents are
not going to seek a licence review (as
with any pub that abuses its licence
residents should call the Noise Patrol
and get the problem recorded).
Hopefully with a bit of give and take
on both sides this popular pub will be
able to live in harmony with its neighbours.

Ashtons raises £2,000
for Bowel Cancer UK

is Eden’s most ambitious project since its
world-famous Biomes were built. Once a
year, starting on Sunday, July 19 2009,
they want as many people in the UK as
possible to sit down simultaneously to
lunch together, with their neighbours, in
the middle of their street, ‘as a simple but
profound act of community’. This ties in
well with the CMP Festival’s Food in the
City weekend and the Garden Gadabout:
take a picnic to the St Nicholas Rest
Garden. Or pledge to hold a Big Lunch
yourself in your own street –
www.thebiglunch.com
The walkers could not have asked for
a more beautiful day. On Sunday 19
April, 30 volunteers joined together to
walk 8km over the South Downs.
Ashtons Pharmacy organised the
sponsored walk over the South Downs
to raise awareness and funds for
Bowel Cancer UK. April was Bowel
Cancer Awareness Month, and the
Seven Dials based pharmacy wanted
to go the extra mile to get people
interested, involved and aware of the
cause. The walk helped Ashtons raise
£2,000 for Bowel Cancer UK. ‘It’s just
great how much we have managed to
raise in such a short time’, says
Ashtons MD, Laurence Sprey. ‘So
many turned up to support us on the
day. Sufferers, survivors and relatives
of cancer sufferers.’ The 8km walk
started from the Devil’s Dyke Inn at
the top of the Dyke and descended
over the downs to Mile Oak Farm and
back up to the top of the Dyke. ‘There
were a few sore legs, but spirits were
generally very good,’ says Celine, an
Ashtons employee who organised the
walk with Bowel Cancer UK.
Bowel cancer is the second biggest
killing cancer in the UK and 35,000
people are diagnosed every year. It is
fairly treatable; however, it is easily
misdiagnosed and for 16,000
sufferers, diagnosis is too late. Bowel
Cancer UK is a charitable organisation
and is almost completely dependent
on voluntary donations.

Kate Langdale
Kate Langdale’ s beautiful shop at
Seven Dials is a cornucopia of
fabulous flowers, plants, scents and
vintage bits and pieces reflecting
Kate’s love of all the old forgotten
aspects of home. She came to
Brighton from London about 15 years
ago via Ibiza (where she spent every
summer, as she grew up, with her
artist father), discovering Brighton
while visiting her brother here and
then making Brighton her base. For a
while, after restoring old houses with
her father in Ibiza, she did the interiors
of big Georgian houses in Brighton;
for three years she had a vintage
clothes shop.
She still designs bespoke lampshades
using vintage fabrics and frames. Her
love of secondhand pieces comes from
her grandmother: old boxes, tins,
potties, teapots and baskets are all
planted up with her seasonal plants
and herbs – all sourced locally.
Much of her work is commissioned
– weddings, funerals, bouquets
– with local deliveries. In late
summer she runs floristry
lessons. For more
information ring Kate on
07944 756277 or call in
to her shop at 84c Dyke
Road Brighton BN1 2JD
www.katelangdale.com
SOPHIE SHEINWALD
When her father died she craved a
stress-free existence and returned to
her main passion, flowers,
and opened the shop.
Kate has done floral
design for over 20
years. “I trained as
a florist as an
apprentice ‘in
house’ which is the
best way. I just took
to it and I always
had an eye for colour.”
She likes to
use seasonal
English flowers
freesias, roses
and lilac in her
arrangements. She uses
local suppliers whenever she can –
sweet peas from near Chichester –
and all her greenery is local. Her
flowers are not flown in from faraway
continents.
Brighton Festival Children’s parade held on Saturday 2 May was a great success
as usual and children, parents and staff at schools in our area spent much time
preparing for it. The theme of this year’s parade was the four elements: Earth,
Air, Fire and Water. Davigdor School decided to represent the element Earth as
‘Out of Africa’. The children made their own animal masks and animal print
T-shirts, shakers decorated with traditional African symbols and helped with the
large zebra and giraffe heads and a giant golden sun.

The sun's come out. I know what's
going to happen now. People, normal,
sane temperate people, are going to
suggest we eat outdoors. Let's go
down to the beach, they'll say. We
could have a picnic . . . or a barbecue!
Yes, a barbecue on the beach!
Now, I do like a barbecue, but I can't
help feeling they'd be better indoors.
And as for the beach! Whoever it was
designed beaches didn't design them
with comfort in mind. Brighton, as you
know, has pebbles instead of sand. And
pebbles are hard. They wouldn't have it
any other way. So they hurt when you
sit on them. True, you get used to the
pain after a bit but this is purely
numbness. Can you feel anything at at
all below the waist when you get up?
No. This is your bottom's way of telling
you not to sit on stones.
I've seen people spreading out towels
to recline on. This is the inverse of the
Princess and the Pea fable. Somehow
they think a single layer of material is
going to protect them. Did they also
believe that public information film that
suggested hiding under a school desk
will shield you from a nuclear blast?
But what about deckchairs, you ask?
You're not thinking this through, are
you? Let's assume you're able to
properly erect your deckchair. A large
assumption for me, but we'll let it go.
You've sat down. Which requires a
certain leap of faith, not to mention a
certain leap of bottom. And are you
sitting comfortably? No, you are not.
You are listing precariously towards
Kemp Town or Shoreham and shifting
your weight to reach for a beer is going
to hurl you straight back onto the
stones. Deckchairs are for decks. The
clue is in the name. They are not
designed for stones any more than your
bottom is.
And while you smile through all this
because, after all, the sun has come out,
I shall be sunk into a nice comfy chair in
the womb-like gloom of the pub. Think
about it.

The Brighton Chamber Choir was founded by Guy
Richardson in 1990 when it sang alongside the Brighton Youth
Choir. In 1995, under Neil Jenkins, the choir’s aim to ‘promote,
improve, develop and maintain public education . . . of. . .
choral music’ was reinforced. The choir performs a wide
variety of music, both ‘a capella’ and with organ, piano or
chamber orchestra accompaniment throughout the city and
Sussex.

Artistic Director Tamsin Shasha in Helen writes: ‘aod
started life as Actors of Dionysus in 1993 devoted to updating ancient classics. The airborne
dimension to aod’s work began at the end of 2004 when I took up an interest in static
trapeze, attending a short Saturday morning course at Circus Space and then discovering the
Circus Project in Brighton closer to home. My passion was now ignited and the aerial bug had
well and truly bitten. Aerial theatre had never been a part of aod’s work before, but I was
keen to move the company in a new direction whilst holding onto the tradition of updating
Ancient Classics. Bacchic (see rave reviews at www.actorsofdionysius.com) was aod’s first aerial
production, inspired by Euripides’ masterpiece of rejection and revenge, The Bacchae. Bacchic
– the demi-god, Dionysus, is presented as a modern day guru fallen from grace – was the
most ambitious thing I had ever worked on. My only partner on stage was a 10 metre rope
and I vowed never to make another solo aerial show again . . . so here I am making another
solo aerial show! The new project Helen, inspired by Helen of Troy, is being developed with
director Jan Willem van den Bosch and is set to be an even more ambitious project than
Bacchic, although with a very different flavour, partly because of the use of digital media to
explore the many faces of Helen of Troy and to play with our perceptions of this enigmatic icon.
After playing a masculine role in Bacchic and working on rope, I was keen to indulge my feminine side: aerial silks and the
atmospheric setting of St Nick’s seem an ideal starting point to explore the myth surrounding Helen’.
Helen is presented as a work in progress, so the audience are invited to take part in a post show discussion with Tamsin and
Jan and feedback will be gratefully received!

Sussex Baroque’s Acis and Galatea last year, that he set up a link with Glyndebourne with the result that four
Glyndebourne Young Artists (three of whom are understudies) give a concert performance of Donizetti’s L’elisir
d’Amore as our grand finale. John says ‘Glyndebourne sets a standard worldwide for the thoroughness with which it
prepares its understudies’. The timing is perfect as the understudies assemble this weekend just before L’Elisir – which
forms part of this summer’s Glyndebourne Festival – opens on 23 July. We are delighted to provide an opportunity for
these stars of tomorrow to perform together and to bring their hard work before the public.

ROJA
DOVE
PROFESSEUR DE PARFUMS
decided to leave the bottle empty and
create a perfume for whoever bought it –
the bottle fetched the most at the auction.
Did you know that the world’s foremost
perfume expert lives in our area? We
knew that Roja Dove was on an expert
panel judging the creation of a perfume
in last year’s series of The Apprentice.
What we didn’t know is that he is the
world’s leading authority on fragrance,
the sole ‘Professeur de Parfums’, who
served his own apprenticeship with
Guérlain (15 years training in odours, he
can identify 3,000 different raw scents).
He is a fascinating man – extraordinarily
busy but generous with his time and
talks beguilingly and with great ease.
He grew up along the coast, has lived in
our area since the late 80s and took
over nearby premises as his administrative centre a few years ago. When he
was 21 he visited Guérlain’s boutique on
the Champs Elysées and did not rest
until they took him on. He worked for
them – ‘the Vatican of perfumery’ for 20
years. It was still – just – a family firm
owned by three cousins when he left in
autumn 2001, but by this stage,
Guérlain, like many perfume houses,
was no longer using its original formulas
– for example, he could no longer
recognise its legendary Mitsoukou!
Then he was asked to create a perfume
for auction at Christies by the Terrence
Higgins Trust Lighthouse. Looking at his
unique collection of perfume bottles, he
asked Baccarat to blow a bottle like
Georges Chevalier’s, designed in 1925 to
hold Lubin’s L’Océan Bleu. This beautiful
bottle, in the shape of two dolphins, not
only seems to relate to Brighton but to
the watery origins of the first simple life
forms (when we were ‘still in the sea’)
who used their sense of smell to locate
others – Roja explained that our scent
receptors (connected to the olfactory
nerve) are located in a saline aqueous
environment at the back of the nose. He
Thus began the idea of
bespoke fragrances. He creates
his perfumes in a little house in
Shepherd’s Market in London
and uses a traditional orgue du
parfumier in leather and wood,
specially commissioned from
Dunhill, to house essences of
perfume. The name is derived
from the stoppers on the
bottles which sit in rows like
organ stops. The Essence of Perfume is the
title of Roja Dove’s book (2008).
Five years ago he was approached by
Harrods to create his own Haute
Parfumerie on the fifth floor: everything
stocked must be the best example of its
type, and sometimes the only place in the
world to buy it. Uniquely he is allowed to
take just one or two perfumes from each
perfume house (such as Dior). Prices range
from £60 – £3,500,000. But then the cost
of fragrance components varies: jasmine
for example, can cost from £100–£30,000
per kilo for the best.
One of his passions is ‘rescuing’ scents

known and loved that have disappeared
(such as Dior’s Diorling and Diorama)
which are now stocked at the Haute
Parfumerie. Another example
is Ombre Rose: created in
1981, the formula had been
changed, and in response to
demand from women who
knew and loved the original,
the creator bought back the
licences and relaunched it as
Ombre Rose L’Original.
Similarly, the oldest French
perfume house, Houbigant,
which dates from the late
18th century (Marie Antoinette is said to
have gone to the guillotine with a tiny
phial secreted in her bodice to give her
strength) has recently re-launched its
legendary 1912 perfume as Quelques
Fleurs L’Original.
Then there is his own trilogy of perfumes:
Scandal (Floral), Unspoken (Chypré),
Enslaved (Oriental). He developed a
technique called ‘Odour Profiling’ which
he uses when creating a bespoke
fragrance or to help people discover their
unique ‘olfactory fingerprint’. Want to
discover yours? Book an appointment at

Professeur or one of his assistants.
