Nancy Platts- Brighton’s new Council leader is truly a force to be reckoned with.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A champion of the Firefighters’ Brigade, Cllr Platts convincingly won the East Brighton by election in February 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now in her second year of being a councillor she has swept the board to take top place as leader of the B&H’s 20 Labour councillors.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Greens came a close second with 19 seats and the Tories have still a respectable 14 with one independent.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

it is a big achievement of Labour to have encouraged so many new faces, and enabled them to succeed within its party’s ranks.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If their councillors work tirelessly for the benefit of residents they should be given every encouragement to succeed.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cllr Nancy Platts has all the hallmarks of a great leader in that she listens as well as believing passionately in her causes.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let us hope she rises to our expectations and lifts our fabulous city to new heights.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
