DEAR BSH,

I’ve just come back from lending my support to the Mods and a few fellow rockers in their protest against the proposed permanent closure of Madeira Drive in Brighton, the site of the Ace Reunion, Brightona, etc.

Brighton Council’ve taken advantage of emergency powers to shut the Drive, and are now trying to shut it off to bikes and cars permanently!

Not only are us south coast bikers stunned (it’s my stomping ground), but the traders are equally shocked, and supporting us! I only learned of the protest when perusing my social media news feed.
