Canvassing in Bonchurch Road, off Elm Grove, yesterday, I was struck by how many people reported how they were personally being affected by the cuts in services for young people. It is almost as if there is a war on the young being waged by this government and Brighton and Hove council. As a governor at Varndean School I see it from the inside too as cuts in services such as Connexions, which offers a whole range of advice and help for young people, begin to bite. Now we have the plan to cut the Schools Sports Partnerships, which have helped so many schools in our area. If you want to do something about this then sign the petition on the council website at:

If enough people sign it then the city council cabinet will be forced to debate and justify this move openly.
