Green achievements 2011-2013
"This is perhaps the toughest time in modern history for English local councils. Despite huge government-imposed budget cuts of around 40% over four years, which threaten to devastate vital services, in Brighton & Hove we’ve achieved much to make this city a better place for everyone who lives and works here. We’ve kept services intact, introduced many new initiatives to benefit the city and delivered much of our manifesto.
"We’ve made numerous advances, some of which have gone unrecognised, so hopefully these pages put our key achievements in a clearer light. It demonstrates what is still possible, even when the coalition government is so aggressively undermining local, democratically elected councils."
