The Brighton and Hove Independent<\/em> writes:<\/p>\n

(Brighton and Hove City Council) backed a management plan as heritage chiefs explore ways to revive the Hippodrome and encourage better use of the Middle Street Synagogue. The Old Town Conservation Area Management Plan said: \u2018The Old Town conservation area was included on the Historic England \u2018at risk\u2019 register in 2016 as a result of a steady decline in its appearance, character and vitality.\u00a0 This management plan will form an important step in addressing that \u2018at risk\u2019 status.\u2019<\/p>\n

The management plan has been drawn up by Brighton and Hove City Council and its publication was approved by the council\u2019s Tourism, Development and Culture Committee\u2026<\/p>\n

Opening up the heritage of grade II* listed synagogue was the focus of discussions surrounding the management plan. Labour councillor Kevin Allen said that while the focus was on the Hippodrome, the synagogue was of equal importance\u2026 \u2018I could imagine school parties going \u2013 and the University of the Third Age.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2026 The synagogue opened its doors to the public on Heritage Day this year and is available for prebooked tours. It was built in 1875 and served the thriving Jewish community which started arriving in the area when it came into fashion in the 18th century…<\/p>\n

Labour councillor Alan Robins, who chairs the Tourism, Development and Culture Committee, said that he learnt about the darker side of Brighton\u2019s history while looking at the synagogue\u2019s oak doors\u2026<\/p>\n

Senior heritage planning officer Tim Jefferies said that he had met with members of the Jewish community and representatives of Historic England to discuss the issues affecting the synagogue. The Old Town Management Plan was welcomed by councillors, with a particular desire for the Hippodrome to be returned to use as a theatre\u2026<\/p>\n

Conservative councillor Mary Mears said that officials should work with the Hippodrome\u2019s owners to bring the building into a better state of repair to make sure that it did not deteriorate further\u2026<\/p>\n
