I’m proud to say that around three quarters of the total cost of living support will go to vulnerable households.

We will send a one-off £650 cost of living payment directly to around eight million of the lowest income households.
Worth over £5 billion, there will be no need for people to fill out forms – we will send the payment straight into bank accounts.
Alistair McNair says the flood prevention scheme in Carden Avenue has overrun and residents are sceptical it won't be a flop. Will further funding be found to increase the number of basins if it doesn't work. #LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
When Labour and Green councillors have second homes they do not charge cheap rents says @AnneMeadowsBTN It is extraordinary to come up with that to get elected but the rents will still need to be high and require Secretary of State permission #LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
Ask your MPs what they charge for rents on their second homes. Are they doing rent controls. Do what you ask before you ask of it says @AnneMeadowsBTN#LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
Are homeless people who have not been through a supportive programme going into social housing, as there could be a relation to Nancy Platt's letter says @AnneMeadowsBTN Why aren't people in temporary housing going onto estates to be good neighbours #Ldreporter#Brighton#Hove
People coming from emergency housing should go into the temporary housing and people ready to be tenants can move to estates says @AnneMeadowsBTN#LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
Living on the streets in a tent is not healthy says @AnneMeadowsBTN but the council still adopted the homeless bill of rights. Adopting something that cannot be changed is ludicrous. #LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
What measures are being taken to deal with £1million of missed rents asks @AnneMeadowsBTN
Some of this is from voids but most of the arrears, everything is being done to help residents to pay.

Stop Patcham Court Farm being used as a sorting office by Royal Mail is presented by @AnneMeadowsBTN There are 378 signatures. More people are becoming concerned about the future of the farm in Vale Avenue. There are concerns about parking #LDreporter#Brighton
Conservatives will not accept the amendment @AnneMeadowsBTN We need to listen to all stakeholders. Farmers speak passionately how our food does not need to travel far. Keeping calves with their mothers is more human #LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
There is lots of good work says @AnneMeadowsBTN but no recognition of the £22 million from the government in the last couple of years. She is concerned about the measures and smart target in adopting the charter. It is not attainable because it is aspirational #LDreporter
Development will impact on wildlife and there are issues with flooding on London Road. It's a 24-hour operation affecting people's quality of life says @AnneMeadowsBTN Royal Mail has offered little information #LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
We need to understand the difficulties farmers face and some fields cannot be used for public access. It can be problematic at times but the council is not listening says @AnneMeadowsBTN#LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
