The Scandal of 17-19 Grand Parade, Baron Homes and Brighton and Hove City Council

Princes House, Brighton Residents of 17/19 Grand Parade agreed to be interviewed about the living conditions of the “emergency temporary accommodation” of inner Brighton. Each resident interviewed has a different story of the shameful squalour and scandalous neglect of the accommodation into which Brighton and Hove City Council’s housing and ‘rough sleepers’ teams place homeless and vulnerable persons. Their stories speak well for themselves. You will see from our website’s video footage that 17/19 Grand Parade is a sorry excuse for “emergency temporary accommodation”. Some residents have been left there for over two years. You will also see the appalling manner in which the premises are run. However, the story does not end there. There is more to this story than at first meets the eye. Video evidence on our blog provides proof that the “emergency temporary accommodation” is ran by Brighton-based company, The Baron Homes Corporation Ltd. Baron Homes: making money out o

Banned from West Pier Project

I have incurred the displeasure of a homeless hostel in Brighton, from which I have been banned. Brighton's mysterious West Pier, after which the hostel is named West Pier Project, a Council ran temporary emergency housing establishment in the heart of the city centre , has, I am informed in person by the staff on the reception, barred me from entry, following their discovery of the above video which I filmed of a friend who lives in the hostel explaining living conditions and the astonishing rental fee charged by the West Pier Project for his living there. I asked them whether it was illegal for me to film an interview with a friend in his room and they maintained that it was, so it looks like I'll need a lawyer. Having been told I was no longer welcome to visit my friend Daryl, who let's face it, doesn't receive many visitors as things stand, because I had basically exposed something the West Pier would rather not be brought to light (quite wh

Brighton and Hove City Council and Mears Group: A Perfect Partnership

This is the handiwork and Council house maintenance work of Mears. I took these photos recently. Let me know what you think of their work. A woman I know was recently moved here by the Council... Nice touch! Welcome to your new home, with kind regards from Mears Group! Sorry the place is a dive, because, frankly we couldn't be arsed with it but enjoy a cup of tea in one of our mugs! Also, here's a brown paper bag in case you vomit once you realise how much money we're making out of this business! Crap decorating, great mugs! Or are the real mugs the poor people who have to live in accommodation maintained by Mears and the people of Brighton and Hove whose Council tax money is going to these cowboys? Damp extraction? What, even the weekend before she moves in? Yes! See, at Mears, they really care for their clients! Even though the company grosses huge profits annually, you get a good return because they are prepared to even extract damp out of walls before yo
