Liberal Democrats are calling for a 'unity budget' for Birmingham

Following Tuesday’s failure of Labour to hold a vote on their budget proposal, Birmingham Liberal Democrats are calling for all parties to come together and work out a compromise budget for the good of the residents of our city. 

Cllr Roger Harmer, Leader of the Birmingham Liberal Democrat Council Group, said: 

“The Labour administration, elected in 2022 with a majority of 29 councillors, is now clearly lacking the confidence to put its budget to the vote.

“Birmingham Liberal Democrats propose the Council agrees a “unity budget” that puts the good of the city ahead of party politics. 

“This would enable the council to keep functioning until the residents have their say in the all-up elections on May 7^th and elect a new administration.”
