Names on the buses 338 Tehmtan Framroze

Connections with Brighton and Hove : Tehmtan Framroze was the first ethnic minority Mayor of Brighton and Hove. During the Zanzibar revolution in 1964, Framroze was studying in Uganda. Fearing to return home, he spent two more years in Kampala then headed to Britain to study librarianship and information science. He was then asked to create a research centre for African and Asian studies at the University of Sussex. Brighton became his home and he worked hard to support his community. At one point, as a Labour councillor, he chaired the large local housing authority and campaigned hard for better conditions in privately rented homes. A block of flats in Hollingdean was named after him. He served as Mayor of Brighton and Hove from 1994–95. As part of his work to support voluntary organisations, he helped raise significant capital to help provide community groups with low-cost accommodation. A cheerful man with a broad smile, he suffered from ill health in his later years. He died in 2017 aged 75, survived by his wife Marion, a fellow librarian he met at the University Sussex.
