Labour in Brighton & Hove ask “what do you want to see from a Labour and Co-operative Council?”
Cllr Warren Morgan, leader of the Labour & Co-operative group on Brighton & Hove City Council has written to fifty key organisations across the city asking for their views on what a Labour-led council should tackle if elected in May.
Cllr Morgan, said: “We want to hear from residents, business leaders, community organisations, the voluntary sector and others.”
“Their views and ideas are essential if we are to run a council that truly reflects the whole city.”
In his letter Cllr Morgan says that despite tens of millions of pounds of cuts to council services, there is scope for positive policies and fresh approaches to help residents, communities and traders in the city.
Labour has already proposed measures to help tenants in the private rented sector, and to establish a Fairness Commission to address growing poverty and inequality in Brighton & Hove. More major policy announcements are expected soon.
Cllr Morgan, added: “Our first task will be to get the basics right, win back trust in the council and ensure that the whole city benefits from what we as a city council do, not just the city centre.”
“A Labour council won’t be about imposing ideology on neighbourhoods as the Greens have done, but working with people on the issues that matter to them.”
