A COMMUNITY centre that supports vulnerable people in one of the most deprived parts of the city could be forced to close.
The Whitehawk Inn provides adult education classes, support and advice for people living in east Brighton. But the centre, owned by Brighton Housing Trust, looks set to close at the end of March because the charity can no longer afford to run it.
Residents and service users said they were saddened by the end of a vital amenity in Whitehawk.
Feedback about plans for scores of new homes in Whitehawk has helped kickstart a drive to improve the area.
The council wants to build 58 flats at Findon Road on the old library site and 28 flats on the empty Wellsbourne site on Whitehawk Road, near the Hub. Most will be rented to social tenants, with some possibly sold to fund the scheme.
A consultation event on March saw residents flag up areas for improvement by placing suggestion cards on a scale model of the scheme within the estate.
Now, this feedback is being used for a workshop held by Due East Neighbourhood Council between 10am and midday this Thursday at the Valley Social Club on Whitehawk Way to put together an action plan.
