Brighton Council has defended a controversial sale of hundreds of homes in the city for £400 million over the next 40 years.
An internal analysis last year revealed the council had failed to consider the potential environmental and social impacts of the sale of over 2,000 residential flats in the city’s affluent Notting Hill area, just 12 miles south of London.

On Tuesday, the Independent Residents‘ A바카라ssociation (IRA) voted overwhelmingly to oppose the sale of nearly 800 homes in the East End and support a public더킹카지노 consultation as a matter of urgency, leading to concerns about the „overwhelming lack of consultation on this development.“
In a letter sent to the Council yesterday, it was highlighted that the council currently plans to sell nearly 80 homes at a cost of £1.8 billion for redevelopment and development of housing in and around the west end, and is now discussing whether to sell another 500 homes in the area.
The deci예스카지노sion to sell will mean the area will be cut in half.
