After beening contacted directly by residents, informing him of the current position, Mr Kirby has immediately contacted both the Chief Executive’s Office at Brighton and Hove City Council, and also the Chief Superintendent of Brighton and Hove Police, and asked them to work quickly to move on this encampment.
Mr Kirby, said: “I have received multiple representations from constituents, informing me about this unauthorised encampment, and I have immediately raised this matter and called for immediate action. This is not an appropriate site for an encampment.

such as this one”
