You would regularly see their converted milk floats and other random vehicles trundling through the city. They offer residential, commercial recycling collection and also have various refurb stores for furniture and computers etc. You will have to pay for quarterly collection, but you will be ticking all the moral 'boxes' by doing so. All their vehicles are electric and they also will collect on a weekly basis (opposed to the fortnightly council box). They will also collect any garden waste for composting for a reasonable fee and their full list of services may be seen on the website. A stella idea that takes recycling to a higher level by including resale, non polluting vehicles and campaigns to spread the word.

Clifton Terrace is regarded as one of the most desirable addresses in Brighton, if not the most…read moredesirable. Situated in the Clifton Hill area of Brighton, the Terrace was built in 1847 after the opening of the railway to London, funded by the Barings Bank family and the widow of Thomas Kemp, builder of Kemp Town. The houses are in a single terrace, in the villa style, all in whitewashed stucco. The distinctive ground floor bay windows have deep awnings, some glazed and others covered in lead. The central group of houses has a pair of blind windows with classical pediments, and no awnings. The overall effect is of genteel elegance; homely yet refined. The Terrace is listed at Grade II. The design incorporates Clifton Terrace Gardens opposite - still retained for the sole use of residents - which helps to preserve the stunning sea views from the houses. The gardens were originally the site of Clifton Windmill, removed in 1837. Many of the individual front gardens to the houses are also beautifully kept. This is where I'd love to live - if I could afford to. It's quiet and surprisingly green, yet minutes from the centre of Brighton and around 5 minutes from the sea front. Just perfect. Unfortunately, a house here will set you back about £1 million

The police officer I spoke to was sensitive and thorough - all in everything was dealt with very well and efficiently I thought, especially considering the time of week. I've had very few other encounters with the police - probably a good thing - other than with those helpful community police officers, or whatever they're called. My friend once fainted when cycling with me up Lewes Road, and a passing officer called an ambulance. And just last week, an officer checked my boyfriend and I were doing okay on the slippery icy pavements after the snow. How kind - who says it's a waste of money?!

When I mentioned a house had just come up on the street I now live on, the women told me it was a great street and property didn't come up very often on it. The fact it was a rival estate agent didn't deter her from advising us to go and see it and if we liked it, snap it up pronto. We did and she was right! So thanks AG for restoring a lil' of my faith in pushers and dealers...
