Brighton & Hove AIDS Memorial
Vote for your choice at www.realbrighton.com/aidsmemorial from September 3, 2007
In July a public call was made for expressions of interest from people and groups to develop proposals to create a Brighton & Hove AIDS Memorial. The closing date for this process is the August 31, 2007 at 9am. A process of shortlisting the proposals will then be convened by former council leader Simon Burgess.
On September 3, 2007 all submitted proposals will be published on the specially constructed website, kindly hosted by Real Brighton, and a public ballot will open and run until midnight September 21, 2007. Shortly thereafter the winner of the ballot will be announced.
All signatories of the original online AIDS Memorial petition will be directly notified and all members of the public are encouraged to participate.
Simply go to www.realbrighton.com/aidsmemorial, take a look at the proposals and have your say. The process is designed to be as open and transparent as possible and the ballot is run independently to ensure this.
Paul Elgood commented: ‘People will have a real choice as to how they want to see the project come to fruition. We already have received a great range of proposals, which we think will inspire debate and discussion. The winner is really down to you, so make sure you have your say."
