About Us
This website was born from the Say No To New Bins campaign which I started in November 2003. Brighton and Hove Council trying to force this scheme upon us when the opposition was about 20 to 1 against the idea made me realise that they had forgotten the concept of democracy. They happily took our Council Tax, and felt little need to justify what they used these funds for.
We are a mixture of both a-political and political people, who are putting aside politics on a local level to do what is best for Brighton, Hove and the surrounding areas.
We can no longer stand back and watch untrained, and often ill-educated people make crass decisions which blight the lives of those people around them.
If you like what we are doing, help us by making a donation.
