Save Our Green Spaces
Residents & businesses, in close proximity to Valley Gardens; Preston Park; Kemp Town; Madeira Drive; Hove Lawns and Hove Park, are not being sufficiently consulted to input into commercial and community events or the issuing of licenses/contracts, in advance of them being agreed. Residents rights, needs and safety must form a fundamental part of any outdoor events strategy. These rights must be upheld by elected council members; officers; council services; council leader and specifically, the outdoor events management team.
We the undersigned residents and businesses welcome outdoor
events. However, we demand that changes are applied to the
procurement and management of these outdoor events by drawing up a
specific set of guidelines/code of conduct, in close collaboration
with residents. The residents and businesses events guidelines must
be adhered to in conjunction with the Council outdoor events
policy.
These guidelines will be used to determine the most appropriate
commercial and community events that are desired by the community.
Importantly, events should be best suited to the location; venue
structure; safety and well-being of residents as well as the
surrounding environment.
Guidelines will cover the following topics:
Procurement Process
Declaration of Income
Type of Event
Environment
Location
Notification of Events
Duration of Events
Community Benefits
Participation Numbers
Responsibility & Safety
Noise Levels
Compensation
License Agreement
Business Case
Charges & Fees
Damage limitation
Adherence to Outdoor Events Policy
