Chichester LibDems 🔶 @chichesterlibdems.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Finances – and voting predictions – just don’t add up from the WSCC Councillor who is the Cabinet member for finance. No wonder WSCC has a deficit of £19.7M!

In case anyone has any doubts about elections, either for County in 2026 or Unitary authorities in 2027, @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social asked the Secretary of State who has confirmed they will definitely be taking place as part of the Local Government Reorganisation process.

West Sussex County Council faces a budget gap of £16.2m in 2026/27 as well as an overspend of £19.7m in 2025/26. An IT system budgeted at £2.5M ballooned to £40M! With nothing left to cut, last Friday one WSCC member proposed cutting members' catering budget to save a “modest £10,500”. #SandwichGate
