At the Worthing Borough Council meeting on 15 October, Worthing Green Councillors Claire Hunt and Ian Davey worked with Worthing Community Independents to put forward two important motions, both of which were agreed by the Council.
The first was a motion on anti-racism (including against Islamophobia, antisemitism and Gypsy/Roma/Travellers), sanctuary and community cohesion, advanced by Green Councillor Claire Hunt. “We want Worthing to be a town that welcomes, includes and engages with our neighbours, wherever they are from, however long they’ve been here and however long they are staying.”
Claire said, “I am so pleased that our joint Worthing Greens and Worthing Independents motion on anti-racism (including against Islamophobia, antisemitism and Gypsy/Roma/Travellers), sanctuary and community cohesion was voted for unanimously at Worthing council last night.”
The second was a motion asking the government and MPs to reinstate the Winter Fuel Payment and abolish the two child benefit cap, proposed by Independent Councillor Carl Walker and seconded by Green Councillor Ian Davey.
Ian said, “I am delighted that Worthing Council agreed the motion from Worthing Independents and Worthing Greens asking the government and our MPS to reinstate the Winter Fuel Payment and to abolish the two child benefit cap.”
Worthing Greens are working hard all year round for real change in Worthing.
