THE August-September 2026 issue of our free bi-monthly news magazine, the North Laine Runner, includes a feature about NLCA's forthcoming charity comedy night at Komedia Studio Bar in Gardner Street on Monday, September 28 with a great line-up of acts to celebrate our 50th anniversary year. 

​

There are news reports on our long, hot, dry summer as well as anti-tagging activity, road resurfacing plans, and an imaginative proposal for better use of Jubilee Square.

​

We have pictures of summer social events such as our picnic in Pelham Square and stall at the Charity and Community Day in the Royal Pavilion Gardens.

​

​We set out proposals for discussion in the big debate on the future of North Laine and the community association at Komedia Studio Bar in Gardner Street on Monday, September 21.

​

We investigate what happens to the waste we put in dry-recycling and food-recycling bins, and review Brighton's poor recycling record in the past.

​

There are also features on phantoms that haunt North Laine, the growing trend for perfume and beauty shops, and the end of an era for a Tidy Street shop that sold musical instruments from around the world.

​

​There's our regular North Laine cartoon strip Swoop, and the popular North Laine crossword compiled by Mitch Egan. ​

​

NLCA's team of street representatives and other volunteers have been out delivering the Runner to every home and business in North Laine. You can also find extra copies at Brighton Toy Museum, Sainsbury's and some local pubs.
