GREEN councillors led a backlash against the decision to remove a controversial cycle route. They became involved in angry spats on Twitter after Labour and Conservatives councillors joined forces on Wednesday night to scrap the Old Shoreham Road bike lanes. After the decision, Brighton and Hove Green councillors tweeted: And so it s done. Brighton and Hove Labour and Conservatives vote to remove the Old Shoreham Road cycle lane (after an officer report). If you want action on the climate crisis, don t vote for these two. Shame on them all, added Green Jamie Lloyd, posting a picture of Labour and Conservative councillors before later accusing retired councillor Ken Norman of lying.

BRIGHTON and Hove city council debated nuclear weapons in an explosive meeting branded “disgraceful” by the standards chief after a row about racism. City councillors debated the feasibility and benefits of nuclear disarmament in a Full Council meeting which was abandoned after the live stream went down amid technical difficulties. The meeting became embroiled in a row about racism. Conservative councillor Mary Mears questioned the council’s anti-racist stance after councillor Nancy Platts had not answered Argus questions relating to her time in Jeremy Corbyn’s office when he was Labour leader. These questions were raised in October following the publication of a damning report by the human rights watchdog which found the Labour Party responsible for “unlawful” harassment and discrimination of its Jewish members.
