@SaveBrightStart @bhlabour @UKLabour @bphillipsonMP @BellaSankey Its not too late! St barts is open till december .
We complained in Nov that decisions were made on @SaveBrightStart *before* it went to Council & @bhlabour were just waving it through without scrutiny. The complaint was dismissed on the grounds "it wouldn't change the outcome". This keeps happening, and it is not democracy 😡

@SaveBrightStart @bhlabour @UKLabour @bphillipsonMP @BellaSankey Think all of @BrightonHoveCC decisions on school closures that ended up with the adjudicator got thrown out or criticised too, eg Goldstone, Patcham, St Bart's + more - dreadful handling of things by Labour cllrs - incl very short-sighted and illogical decision on Bright Start
In June, we asked why @bhlabour was cutting Bright Start before an election where @UKLabour had pledged to expand childcare. We were ignored. Now, @bphillipsonMP wants to create more state nurseries. It's a shame @BellaSankey's council has just cut them. theguardian.com/education/2024…
The gravy train has barely pulled into the station but has wasted no time getting on board. What has @chriswardmp done to earn this hospitality worth £1,660?

Now @bhlabour have given up even pretending that they actually make decisions at Cabinet meetings Shows how little they respect members of the public who show up to ask questions and make deputations on agenda items. Hardly the 'listening council' they say they are

Patcham Court Farm: Blurring the boundaries between the City Council and the Labour Party - the text of my latest column from today’s Brighton Argus wp.me/pDTWu-2gm
Council criticised for appproach on dealing with falling pupil numbers at #Brighton and #Hove schools #LDreporter brightonandhovenews.org/2024/08/29/off…
Daming article about @bhlabour's approach to primary schools. School's adjudicators: "the council’s approach to the problem it faces is hampered to some extent by this apparent unwillingness to consider more flexible primary school arrangements." brightonandhovenews.org/2024/08/29/off…
Please watch this brilliant speech from my lovely friend about what cuts to @SaveBrightStart mean for her family & her ability to work. @bhlabour are taking childcare away from frontline workers in the City. They need to consider the wider implications. @CitizensBH @sianberry

Last Thursday, Kiran, one of the Bright Start mums, presented our petition to @BrightonHoveCC. She explained why @bhlabour must stop the closure of the baby room. Watch her speech here: #savebrightstart. youtu.be/lHnlGyayjXY
It's great to hear your enthusiasm for early years, @bphillipsonMP . But @bhlabour is still pressing ahead with cuts to Bright Start Nursery, including the closure of the baby room. Please stop the cuts that are happening now; it's not too late!

Last night Labour-led Leeds City Council 'scrutiny' agreed to closure of three Little Owls nurseries. Why won't the council hold on to see what @UKLabour will do? Their manifesto promised "not just more childcare, but better childcare & early education" yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politics/…
@RichardBurgon @SaveLittleOwls Public nurseries are under threat across the country, with cuts and closures also planned in Hackney @Save_Fernbank, Brighton, @SaveBrightStart & Wandsworth @WandsworthNEU ... you'd hope the new Gov see councils pause for thought about these cuts to early years education & care
Greens have submitted an amendment to the petition which calls for a report to come to a future People Overview and Scrutiny Committee, rather than just being ‘noted’ If you have a Labour councillor, you can email and ask them to support our amendment: democracy.brighton-hove.gov.uk/mgFindMember.a…

Agreed. @bhlabour shouldn’t be CLOSING @SaveStpeters1 nursery either! Thanks to them, I will have to cut my hours and lose £££ because of it. During a cost-of-living crisis this is shameful. This has your name @BellaSankey directly attached to this. Not a good look…

And the @SaveBrightStart parents' petition story is on the @brightonargus front page today as well as the holiday lets with @_greenchloe #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
We're still fighting for the @SaveBrightStart babyroom because people are still having babies & need childcare! Now there's a new @UKLabour government @bhlabour should be funding council-run nurseries not cutting them. Please support us @ 4.30 Thurs Hove Town Hall if you can 🙏🏽
