Leader of Conservative group Worthing Borough Council, Councillor for Goring ward. School governor. Wonderful family. Passionate about Worthing. Views my own.

#grassrootsfootball let down again. Grass uncut and left 4 inch in length with numerous 8 inch clumps across the pitch. Really promotes youth football. NOT. #worthingboroughcouncil

And so its starts, Worthing Labour overspending has consequences as services are reduced and its the public that suffers.

Whatever your budget, majority of councils around country set balanced budgets
Why can't Worthing Labour Cllrs set robust budget plans instead of moaning its everyone else's fault when 3 months in they've created a £1.8 M 'Black Hole' & a unsustainable position financial warning

[Kevin Jenkins @Jenkins_ka]

Cllr Caroline Baxter confirms Worthing Labour plan to offload Teville Gate to Homes England & accepts they may take a financial hit
Why've they prevaricated so long will we get same quantum of housing or by off loading are they avoiding responsibility
Questions went unanswered.

DOUBLE TALK Cllr John Turley at Worthing Strategic committee tonight 'We have to ensure that our projections are sensible & robust.'
Bit late now, the horse has bolted
Why didn't you do that when you set your budget
You've now got a £ 1.8 million OVERSPEND of taxpayers money

[Kevin Jenkins @Jenkins_ka]

Worthing Strategic Sub committee 2night
BIG elephant in the room is projected £ 1.8million OVERSPEND by year end. After 3 months how can you get budget so wrong
Council leader Beccy Cooper describes it as 'BIG BLACK HOLE' & her team blame everyone else & take no responsibility

[Dan Humphreys @Dan_Humphreys]

This is a bonkers policy. Thousands and thousands of children who have just returned from expensive foreign holidays will be getting free meals paid for with money that could be used to support children whose parents can't afford to give them breakfast every day.

[Kevin Jenkins @Jenkins_ka]

The list of Labour S114 notices grow - Birmingham the latest.
How safe is Labour Worthing, already projecting a circa £2m overspend by end of Q1 in their latest papers.
By year end !!!!

[Kevin Jenkins @Jenkins_ka]

Good to chat politics and all things #Worthing with @AllisonFerns1 @BBCSussex this morning at Tern on Worthing Pier.
So much to celebrate and did you know she can sing and dance too !

@michaelcloake @marksandspencer @Warburtons Which is the more porous with butter?

[Kevin Jenkins @Jenkins_ka]

@DerrickChester1 @Dan_Humphreys The minutes are misleading as was the press release issued by the council press team
The committee chose to make no new recommendations
Many residents concerns have been ignored
Adur place 91% of their homeless outside of Adur area, Why, lack of local provision !

[Kevin Jenkins @Jenkins_ka]

Hastings’ Labour Council Leader wants to put prefabs in residents’ gardens to tackle homelessness

Yet official figures show Hastings’ Council got just 20 new homes built last year & not a single unit of affordable or social housing

Will Worthing be next? https://t.co/uMFYbGOXwS

@zoefamily2 Thanks, I will report to Parks team.
Sadly lots of equipment being reported broken.

[Kevin Jenkins @Jenkins_ka]

Worthing Council, sorry no, residents, already pay towards the transit site at Westhampnett.

Yet again residents left to pick up the pieces.

[Kevin Jenkins @Jenkins_ka]

Labour Leader Cllr Beccy Cooper suggests that the 'arrangement' with the Travellers on Goring Grasswards should be tolerated !

What is this 'arrangement' does she have with them ?

When was this agreed with local residents who have been kept awake all night by their music.

[Bryan Turner @BryanWTurner]

@val28turner @timloughton @Jenkins_ka @Dan_Humphreys @EWAS3 @WorthingCA @CLLRrusscochran The Labour run Council in #Worthing think it is OK to get rid of public toilets for women. This what you get with socialism.
