Lib Dem and Greens position on Black Boy Lane renaming fiasco
Can the Lib Dems and Greens candidates and current councillors please outline thier position prior to the election.
The decision by Momentum to have the Labour administration rename the road is wrong for the following reasons:
- it will cost hundreds of thousands of pounds which will come from the budgets for other council services (eg.Education, aged care, environment)
- it is opposed by residents and businesses on Black Boy lane who will bear the brunt of years of adminstrative problems
- it is unnecessarily devisive as the name has no racial connotations and trivialises real efforts to improve harmony elsewhere
- the La Rose family and foundation oppose the change
A commitment to reverse the decision will influence the voting intentions of a large proportion of St St Ann's ward residents.

I'll definitely vote for the Lib Dems if they promise to stop this (as will many other people who opposed it). Labour ignored our views in the fake consultations.

I've heard on the grape vine that the Lib Dems have decided not to oppose the name change and will instead be complicit in this expensive and divisive bit of nonsense that robs us of another piece of local heritage and diverts hundreds of thousands of pounds from the budgets of council services that people actually need.They won't come out and say it though given its a controversial topic. A cowardly betrayal in my view.

Democracy is failing locally. It infuriates me that we told the council we didn't want this and they're doing it anyway. None of them will be effected. Just us. Little people don't matter.
The Greens have been bunging glossy (recyclable?) pamphlets through our door this week. If they really want to win in St Ann's they should promise to reverse this stupid wasteful and undemocratic decision.
