Health survey will help to shape city's services

The results of the Health Counts 2024 survey have now been published, and I want to begin by extending my heartfelt thanks to every resident who took the time to complete the survey, to the University of Brighton who led the research, and to all the partners and community organisations who helped us reach so many people across Brighton & Hove. Your voices, insights, and lived experiences are not just statistics in a report - they are a driving-force for change in our city and the foundation upon which we will build fairer, healthier communities.

Spoilt for choice with six brand new gardens to visit

A good few Christmases ago now, my Mum bought me a wild plum tree as a present in a gift box.  It has been planted in a large container on the patio ever since and seems to have flourished well. It looks stunning in the garden and is so pretty with its abundance of pale pink flowers, which blossom in early spring. In autumn the deep-red, sweet plums can be eaten straight from the tree! This deciduous tree naturally sheds its leaves every autumn and will remain in its dormant phase all winter. Fresh, new leaves will grow in spring and it’s well worth the wait. This year I have been surprised to find some small fruit growing on it too for the very first time.
