Emsworth Residents Forum Meeting HBC Strategy.
Presentation by ClIr Phil Munday (Labour),
Leader of HBC 7.00 pm at the Community Centre May 2024 saw a change of
control of Havant Borough Council, when the Conservatives, who had been in
power for over twenty years, handed over to an alliance of Labour, the Green
Party and Liberal Democrats. Therefore we have a new set of councillors,
with new ideas and new priorities, although with the continuing squeeze on
local government budgets, many of the problems remain. The new leader is
ClIr Phil Munday, who has lived in Denvilles for more than forty years. He
was elected to the council in 2022 and has been leader since May, with a
cabinet drawn from Labour, the Greens and Lib Dems, includ¬ing ClIr Grainne
Raison, one of our Emsworth councillors. At the meeting he will outline the
general approach and strategy of the new Council and the priorities that
they have adopted for Havant going forward. He will be wanting to hear your
views and address your questions, so please come along to hear how the new
council is addressing the issues which we face locally and make your views
known. (Mike Bateman, ERF committee)
