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 😡
Why should anyone bother submitting questions to Cabinet when the Council has made its decision already, @BellaSankey ? brighton-hove.gov.uk/news/20…

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

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
@BHDemocracyNews Looks like the Council has made its decision about parking charges before Thursday’s Cabinet has chosen whether or not to accept officers’ recommendations brighton-hove.gov.uk/news

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

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/pol…

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
Save Bright Start Nursery, Brighton retweeted
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.…
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 🙏🏽

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…

So, @Chris4BtnKTP wants to be a “national voice for local people” when it comes to childcare. I suppose with you not living here you might not know that @bhlabour is closing down a hugely popular nursery that saw a 70% increase in demand YOY. Might want to have a word, eh. 🙄
Chris Ward (@Chris4BtnKTP) claims that Labour want to sort out childcare. Please can he have a word with @BHLabour/@BellaSankey ? They are currently pressing ahead with cuts to Bright Start Nursery -- which won't take place until after the election... brightonandhovenews.org/2024…

Apparently @peterkyle wants “our early-years provision increased”. Interesting, since he told me in Jan that there was NO demand to retain @SaveStpeters1 nursery. Someone needs to tell Kevin that Labour won’t be supporting Early Years. They’re closing a nursery next month!

Parents who depend on the baby room at Bright Start nursery in Brighton have an excellent case to put to the council in July to save it. If you live in Brighton, make sure they can get a hearing by signing the petition here: 🙏 change.org/p/save-the-baby-r…

So @UKLabour's latest #childcare proposal is exactly what @SaveBrightStart & St Barts suggested doing to save both, but @bhlabour Cllrs wouldn't listen and moved to close the babyroom & school instead. It's empty rhetoric if your politicians won't implement it when it counts 🤦

The decision to move a popular nursery to a new location in East Sussex will be disruptive for children, according to parents.
