Cat owners: From Monday 10 June 2024, it will be a legal requirement in England to have your cat microchipped and you may be fined if you don’t. A microchip is a small device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is inserted between your cat’s shoulders. This is the best way of making sure you can be reunited with your cat if they get lost.
A Green councillor in Brighton is calling for action to tackle short-term holiday lets and their impact on the local rental and housing markets.
Ellen McLeay plans to propose a motion on the subject at a Brighton & Hove City Council meeting on Thursday.
The motion is due to be seconded by fellow Green councillor Chloe Goldsmith.
Ms Goldsmith said: "I understand that this is just one of many problems with the housing market in our city, but it’s one which we need to tackle as soon as possible."
She added: "The council should begin the initial work now to ensure we are ready to implement these regulations as soon as possible.”
Ms McLeay is calling for a report on how the council can use its planning powers to control short-term holiday lets.

King Alfred Leisure Centre Relocation
A new leisure centre for Hove and Portslade is set to be built on the site of the King Alfred, a report out today says.
Brighton and Hove City Council has been consulting on plans to either keep a leisure centre at the Hove seafront site, or at an alternative site in Benfield Valley.
Today, a report set to go in front of the council’s cabinet, where it is expected to be rubber-stamped, recommends it should be built on the seafront.
Although the Benfield Valley site would have been a much better financial investment, the seafront site is preferred because the Benfield site is a designated green space, and the consultation overwhelmingly favoured the seafront site.
