THE June-July edition of our free bi-monthly news magazine, the North Laine Runner, has news of the final phase of the Valley Gardens project which extends the green area south of St Peter's Church all the way down to the seafront.

​

We also have news of roadworks pledges, plantings in Pelham Square, and planning applications including a controversial proposal to add another storey to a property in Sydney Street.​

​

We report on the Mod Fashion and Style exhibition at Brighton Museum and have photographs of the Brighton Festival Children's Parade through North Laine in May.

​

​There are features on North Laine's role in early seaplane development, and the day a giant wave hit Brighton's beaches out of the blue, sending hundreds of holidaymakers fleeing for safety.

 

People also pay tribute to the owner of Raining Books in Trafalgar Street, Kevin Daly, who has died aged 69, and former NLCA chair Gareth Davies reflects on changes he has seen after living in North Laine for eight years, as he moves home to Belgium.​​​

​

There's also our regular North Laine cartoon strip Swoop and the latest 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 some local pubs.
