The committee just confirmed the back path stays exactly as it is. Thank you to the 124 people who stood up for our history and kept this space open for everyone. Stay alert to ensure they keep their word on maintenance rather than trying to block access again.
After almost 200 years of peacefully existing by the listed front wall, this original feature of the Hanover Crescent gardens is now under threat from a majority of garden committee members intent on change & not preservation. It has been, wrongly, portrayed as a no-go area & a magnet for anti-social behaviour but if you'd just wander down there you'd see it's a pretty & magical little path that residents have strolled for almost 2 centuries. Anti-social behaviour is conducted in sheltered & hidden areas of undergrowth so planting over this old path will only serve to harbour such activity.It is an ill conceived strategy that will be expensive & ineffective. Please vote to keep this path & insist that our money is spent on more appropriate & immediate solutions - we should fight to preserve this lovely old garden - it's our responsibility.
The garden committee continues to dodge our questions about the proposed path closure. Send an email to the council representative tonight demanding they protect this historical feature from unnecessary destruction.

We hit a real turning point today that shows the garden committee cannot ignore our neighborhood anymore. Send a direct email to your local representative right now to demand they protect the original layout of the path.

Save the path. The idea to get rid of it is totally flawed and poorly conceived. Spare much time, money and regret by keeping it. The path is a minimal factor in ASB on the Crescent.

A lovely path which takes walkers off road and into green space right in the heart of town.

This path is precious, please do not lose it. It is one of the few places in Brighton where you can find bluebells in spring.

Does this path have public right of way status? Does it enjoy Listed curtilege status? What deterrence measures could they take? Like installing CCTV or solar-powered lighting? What else? Destruction of our historic landscape for this reason is not right.t

I spent my childhood playing in the gardens and on the path, and think it's a shame if future generations don't get the chance to do the same.

So many little pieces of Brighton history are being destroyed. Don't let this be another.
