Local Government Reorganisation was not in Labour's 2024 manifesto, will cost us a fortune when we can ill afford it, will not improve efficiency and will undermine local democracy. Its an expensive solution to a problem way down on our priority list and should be scrapped

Latest 💩 sewage 💩 alert.
Southern Water hiked bills more than any other water supplier this year. Is the money being used to fix Brighton’s Victorian water system? Clearly not!
It is diabolical that these private companies continue to profit while our coast is polluted.
