Get involved help us create a better Brighton and Hove 🙏

Help us create a Better Brighton & Hove!

We're inviting residents to choose from a range of exciting ideas and projects to improve life in their ward.

The suggestions have been submitted as part of our Better Brighton & Hove Fund, which will see money raised through developer contributions used to enhance council-owned spaces and community facilities across the city.

Last year, residents put forward an amazing 930 suggestions on how to spend £750,000 of Better Brighton & Hove funding - from new trees to nature trails, bus shelters to bike racks.

Now it's time to choose your top five favourites.
