Location
Brighton
and Hove is a city and unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of East
Sussex in South East England. It
is England's most populous seaside
resort with
a population of 273,400 (2011 census).
Following the unification of borough councils, the towns of Brighton and Hove formed a unitary
authority in 1997. In 2001, the two towns, Portslade and other surrounding
areas and villages were granted city status by Queen Elizabeth II as part of the
millennium celebrations in 2000, forming the City of Brighton and Hove.
Brighton has been an important centre for commerce and employment since the 18th century. In December 2013, Brighton was the third-highest ranked place on the UK Vitality Index Report, which measures the economic strength of towns and cities in the United Kingdom. It was "among the top performing towns and cities on almost all" of the 20 measures used by the index.
Throughout
