• Round Hill Society Twitter (286 following; 421 followers)

The Round Hill Community Noticeboard is a Facebook Group, launched in April 2016, intended to complement The Round Hill Society.

The group's aim is for Round Hill, Brighton, UK residents to communicate with each other - promote community events; ask for trader recommendations; buy/sell/swap stuff; discuss issues of local interest. Any members can post but no regular advertising please.

It's an invite-only group to try and keep things local and to prevent spammers from selling their dodgy wares. Please don't ask to join unless you live and/or work in Round Hill - thank you.

The aim is identity rather than size. 620+ members already indicates good coverage within a neighbourhood with circa 900 households. There are other resources for communicating with adjoining neighbourhoods. Admin reserve the right to block anyone who posts inappropriately.

Living Streets

Living Streets - Living Streets is a major new campaign of The Pedestrians Association. This is the one body that can speak for you with authority. The Pedestrians Association (PA) have since 1929 been the driving force behind much road safety regulation and many schemes such as the Walk to School campaign, Home Zones and pedestrianised areas. The Living Streets initiative is a nationwide - ongoing - campaign to win back the streets for everybody.
