ePetition - Regenerate Black Rock

We the undersigned petition the council to take all the necessary steps possible and work with prospective interested parties to reinvigorate Black Rock.  After 40 years of lying derelict, Brighton's beautiful Black Rock site needs a new lease of life for the benefit of the local community!

We are 2 local GP's, working with a team and Department of Health backing, to build a community-run wellbeing centre at Black Rock. Our project, called Futurehealth, will create an iconic building for Brighton.This will serve 2 main functions : The first will be a  range of health services - both NHS and complementary therapies. We will have space for yoga studios and will work with health related community groups. The second will be a busy cafe/restaurant along side art platforms and science stations for kids and adults and sea front gardens and play areas.

For the last six years a commercial developer, Brighton International Arena, has had an agreement with the council to develop Black Rock, but they have not done anything and the site remains derelict. We would like a chance to compete with them as we are offering a genuinely innovative solution which will reposition the Black Rock site as a Brighton destination.

This petition will be presented to the Economic Development & Culture Committee meeting on the 20th September, 2012.

Started by: Sarah Andersen (Dr Sarah Andersen and Dr Laura Marshall-Andrews : Directors of Futurehealth)
