A community campaign group has called on NHS bosses to commit to keeping the Brighton General Hospital site in public hands so that low-cost homes can be built there. Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust, which is based at the former hospital site, is looking at creating a new health hub there and selling off the rest of the site for housing. Jerome Cox-Strong, from the Community Campaign for the Brighton General Hospital Site, spoke at a meeting of the trust board last Thursday (25 September). Afterwards, Mr Cox-Strong said: “Over the past 10 months, the Community Campaign has been successful in bringing the possibility of redevelopment on the Brighton General site back into public focus. “The previous community campaign that developed in 2019 demonstrated that this simply isn’t an option for our community and the energy around our current community campaign tells us that this strength of feeling remains in place.
