Dear resident,

2023 has seen the new ward boundaries come into effect at Brighton and Hove City Council for the first time in 20 years, following the completion of a statutory review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The changes took place at the City Council elections on the May 4th. 

This means that there are some changes to the associations who make up the membership of the Housing Area Panels. The new wards have been divided up into housing areas North, West, East and Central based on the numbers of council households within each area.  

The June Housing Area Panels will be the first time these changes have come into place. We will discuss these changes at all the Area Panels.  All tenants, leaseholders and members of Tenant and Residents Associations are very welcome to attend Housing Area Panels.  

Due to these changes, in this round of papers, all residents will receive all 4 areas’ action logs and all areas’ 2-star Resident Questions to ensure no information is missed by residents affected by the new areas.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Community Engagement Team at CommunityEngagement@Brighton-Hove.Gov.UK or via the phone at 07717 302986 or 01273 291518.

Kind Regards,
