The UK Government has announced the suspension of Home Information Packs with immediate effect from 21 May 2010.

Brighton has been named one of the top ten beach cities in the world.

It ranks alongside Barcelona, Sydney, New York and Los Angeles in a new guide for travellers looking for a combination of urban and beach holidays.

A recent report named Brighton as one of five 'supercities' that will save the country's economy.

It said Brighton, along with Leeds, Liverpool, London and Newcastle would become a supercity focusing on new economic endeavours like digital media, broadcasting, nanotechnology, cybernetics and other bio and technological sciences over the next twenty years.

The supercity phenomenon has been driven by the recession which has highlighted the need to find innovative ways of working in order to increase international business and entrepreneurship.
