The Vote: Episode 2

Brighton and Hove’s political show The Vote Show returns with a debate about the city’s hottest issues. Parking, pedestrianisation, shopping and markets all are debated by Frank le Duc’s guests. Chris Todd from Friends of the Earth questions Mary Portas’ plan for reviving city centres saying her plan takes no account of the majority who get to shopping centres by walking or public transport. That is why we need Park and Ride says leader of Labour group Cllr Gill Mitchell who also reveals much of her ongoing report into shopping in the city. Conservative Cllr Andrew Wealls puts the case for retailers who are worried about high car parking charges and high business rates in the city. Some extraordinary government information films are revealed by Treason Show’s Mark Brailsford and we discover what shops our guests worked in and Chris gives us all a surprise.
