Local people.
Local perspective.
Brighton Locals brings together useful news, places, events and opportunities across the area we call home. The site is shaped by a team of people from Brighton, Hove and Sussex who know these communities from everyday life.
Who we are
Made here, for people here.
We want it to be easier to understand what is changing locally and to discover the people, businesses and opportunities around us.
Our contributors and collaborators are local to Brighton and Sussex. Different voices and neighbourhoods make the site more useful; no one person can speak for the whole city or county. We aim to keep growing that local perspective as the project develops.

Useful first.
Careful always.
Trust comes from showing our work and correcting mistakes. These are the standards we use when we report a local story.
01
Start with the source
We link to council papers, service notices and other first-hand evidence where available.
02
Make the local impact clear
We explain who is affected, what readers can do and what happens next.
03
Keep judgement visible
Our editorial view is labelled separately from confirmed facts.
04
Listen and correct
If something is wrong or missing, we want to hear it and update the page clearly.
