The people of Brighton and Hove have an historic opportunity to influence the future of our city for years to come.
Key decisions are about to be made by our elected representatives about the city’s budget, how it can be funded, and where cuts – if any – should be made.
“A chance for people across the city to tell our leaders what they think. And a chance for our leaders to listen to us, before they decide.”
More importantly, they – on our behalf – will decide the shape of public services on which some of our poorest and most vulnerable fellow-citizens rely.
We may all have the chance to vote on whatever is finally proposed. We may not.
The local Labour and Conservative parties have united to oppose a referendum, though they disagree on the budget.
Whether or not there is a referendum, big issues require big debates. Our political leaders understand that.
This is a free event organised by Brighton and Hove Independent Newspaper
