'Who has consistently stood up for their communities when it mattered?' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As you read this the count will be taking place for the third election in as many years in Queen's Park and the Greens are really hopeful that residents there will give Mark Strong an opportunity to represent them as their local councillor. It is 12 months since we were last on the doorsteps of QP and desire for a local representative that will not just work hard for the community but stay the distance seems to be the main topic of conversation. So hopefully at the next full council I will get t
'Why can't the Labour administration show more ambition on cleaner air? (opens the original)

Why can't the Labour administration do more about clean air for our city? In London 2019 their council introduced an Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to the howls from the motoring lobby who claimed another “war on the motorist”. Well if it is a war there was only one side winning given that in 2019 air pollution that year attributed to between 6,400 and 8,000 deaths in London. Fast forward seven years and the drop in air pollution related deaths is astounding and, according to The Guardian: “This

At last week’s full council meeting, Green Councillor Ollie Sykes made a bold manifesto promise on the hoof, but one we think is clearly needed.

Next May, you all trot off to the ballot box and vote them out, only to realise that even though you have shown your displeasure and voted for someone else, they get to remain a councillor, with an allowance, for another 12 months. Well, next year, all of the Labour councillors could lose their seats and still remain in power with influence over this city for another year, even though their mandate
Borrowing more millions will not solve the city's financial crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A man named Marx once said: "Politics is the art of looking everywhere for trouble, finding it, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies," and no, I’m not quoting Karl, I am quoting Groucho. This seems to be the approach of our local and national governing bodies as here in Brighton and Hove, Labour are proposing another £30,000,000 bailout loan from the government after revelations that the monthly budget targets are up the proverbial creek with no paddle. That £30m is double w
