Dear Editor,

For the fifth year running our Liverpool's token opposition , Labour, have come to a council budget decrying that the city is heading for another financial crisis.

Haven't we heard that one every year?

If there was an element of truth in their cries of calamity , then it must beg the question where was their alternative budget ?
Where was Labour plan to put the council budget back on course ?

Of course Liverpool's neolithic Labour Party complained we had not put up council tax over last decade and they would have in effect kept it at the highest in the land.

We in the LIberal Party supported Liverpool having a modest and a legal budget

We tabled an amendment to set officers to a more stretching target of selling a further £3m worth of surplus and derelict homes and land. The money raised to fund £1m additional traffic safety and £2m extra into the community safety budget

If Labour had come close to winning the vote against the budget, we would have had another financial crisis of a council without a lawful budget.
Labour would have taken us back to the Militant Days.
Will they ever learn Liverpool deserves better
