We have already reversed savings to toilets having listened to communities and have invested to protect their future "I am especially pleased that we managed to keep the toilets in our parks open, as unlike in the city centre there are very few alternative options" - @CllrEbel

"It's been a heartbreaking process." - Cllr Pete West comments on the #BHBudget

This is a budget rigged from the start, but we have done everything to protect the services our communities rely on. Hann summarises the debate

BREAKING (AGAIN): Brighton & Hove Labour Party supposed commitment to tackling the climate crisis This city deserves more than an anti-environmental alliance of Labour and Tories brightonhovegreens.org/2023/02/23/lab…

I’m deeply concerned about Bella Sankey’s ignorance & negligence. Brighton & Hove City Council was in NOC so the last budget & needed Brighton & Hove Labour Party’s scrutiny & agreement. If you were doing yr job you’d know how much our hands were tied. Any shortcomings in the next budget will be down to you.🍿

Today Bella Sankey & Cllr Trevor Muten can choose a good, funded, oven-ready scheme to protect🚶🏿👨‍🦽🚲 Why on earth would they choose an undesigned, hugely expensive, unfunded idea instead? Their delays are costing council tax payers £19k weekly already - less than 2 months since elected

The costed, consulted-on, committee-approved active travel scheme already underway showed clear vision & commitment. Delaying it & presenting a wobbly, pie-in-the sky alternative makes no sense.

"Labour's very first decision about transport in this administration has already wasted this city thousands of pounds" Green Group Leader Cllr Steve Davis reacting to Brighton & Hove Labour Party's decision to scrap the A259 cycle lane scheme.

Nationally, we have a Tory government unwilling to even begin tackling the climate emergency 🌍 Locally, the Labour administration are pausing and jeopardising fully funded active travel schemes 🚴 Only The Green Party can be trusted to treat this with the urgency it deserves 🌱

It's incredibly disappointing to see transphobic tweets like this from my Labour counterpart in Regency Brighton & Hove Labour Party have some serious questions to answer about how someone who openly holds these views was selected to run for their party

We've still heard nothing from Labour's Equalities Chair on Cllr Thomson's transphobic tweets. Now, the secretary of his local branch has said she was wrong to apologise: theargus.co.uk/news/23796207.… Will Leslie  speak up for LGBTQ+ people now, or were these just hollow words? 👇

This decision to scrap Brighton’s active travel forum is the latest attack on cyclists from the Labour council. Completely unacceptable. brightonandhovenews.org/2023/09/30/cyc…

The periodic claims from Labour that Brighton & Hove Green Party “messed up the councils finances” have resurfaced with the external auditors report this week. Reality is though, it was far from the ‘gotcha’ type of document they were hoping for! Here is a quick thread about what it said 🧵 1/12

Rishi Sunak you will be pleased to know that Brighton & Hove Labour Party have received your note about prioritising cars and they are bringing traffic back to this busy and bustling, pedestrianised street. Cllr Trevor Muten Bella Sankey , you must be delighted to have identical views as Rishi Sunak!

All that work that Brighton council are doing to oust the Greens from the Pavilion seat, and failing miserably. You love to see it. Also I know this poll will absolutely rile up some of the BHLabour right and that makes me so happy. Sian Berry will be Pavilion’s next MP!
