BHBudget

  1. Good morning. FYI, the Brighton & Hove Green Party's Twitter a/c is now at @BHGreens . The @BHBudget a/c will continue for budget matters.
  2. @lisacamps Thank you.
  3. @cooljool80 @JuanLeahy Missing you both already too. But it's still #ttfn :-)
  4. @andy_s_64 Thank you.
  5. Following yesterday's budget decisions, the @bhbudget a/c won't be campaigning any more but is available to answer residents' budget queries
  6. @Rimarti72 @andy_s_64 Thank you. :) Can't comment on an individual property but a Band C would have been roughly £35 for year or < £3/month
  7. @dpashley @cooljool80 You're right. The 3.5% figure was announced months before the referendum was set.
  8. The council meeting is over and #bhbudget is passed and set for the year.
  9. Council tax is frozen in B&H to the great regret (and disagreement) of the Green administration. But rest of budget (99.4%) is proudly Green
  10. Greens have voted FOR the final amended budget, as have other parties, so it is carried
  11. Councillors given 5 minutes to read through the text of the amended budget.
  12. So Labour amendment carried. The Green budget is amended to include a Council Tax freeze and £3.6m+ financial black hole for next year
  13. Labour amendment (freeze council tax) put to vote. Conservatives & Labour voting together on this Tory policy. Amendment will be carried.
  14. So Labour can now state that it did not vote for any Tory amendments. Useful for spin.
  15. Final Tory amendment (mayor's number plate) being voted. No surprise that Labour & Green are against amendment so number plate will be sold.
  16. Tory amendment 5 (Lanes car park fees) being voted. Will fall.
  17. Tory amendment 4 (close Brightstart Nursery) being voted. Again, it will fall as, predictably, only Tories in favour
  18. So after Labour's vaunted loo saving campaign, Labour has voted against amendment on the topic.
