Additional guidance regarding voting on proposed amendments:

Brighton & Hove Independents

1 Brighton & Hove Independent amendment 1 will be voted on first. However if this amendment is carried and subsequently Conservative amendment 2 is carried, this would mean this amendment would fall.

Conservative Group Amendments 1 to 4

1 If this amendment is carried and subsequently Green amendment 4 is carried, this amendment would fall as green amendment 4 uses all the additional resources from the final Local Government Finance Settlement, leaving this amendment no longer viable.

2 If this amendment is carried, then the Brighton & Hove Independents amendment 1 would fall.

3 The Supplementary budget report includes a reduction in the Youth Led Grants saving of £0.040m. If this amendment is carried the full £0.080m original saving would be reversed.

4 If this amendment is carried and subsequently Green amendment 2 is carried, this amendment would fall as green amendment 2 uses all the additional resources from the Final Local Government Finance Settlement, leaving this amendment no longer viable.

Green Group Amendments 1 to 4

1 The Green Group amendment 1 and Conservative Group amendment 4 both include the reversal of the proposed saving for the Disability Advice Centre and Extended Bus Services. If both amendments are carried, the cumulative impact would not only reverse the savings but would invest a further £0.029m in supported Bus Route Services and an additional £0.020m for the Disability Advice Centre.

2 If Green Group amendment 2 is carried as well as Conservative amendments 1 and/or 4 then the Conservative amendments 1 and/or 4 would fall as they rely on the same additional resources confirmed in the Final Local Government Finance Settlement.  Also, Green Group amendment 2 and Conservative Group amendment 2 both reduce the saving relating to the prevention of violence against women and girls. If both amendments are carried the proposed saving of £0.120m in 2024/25 would be reduced to £0.009m.

3 If both green amendments 2 and 3 are carried, the £0.046m saving in Union facility Time would be fully reversed.

4 Green Amendment 4 is a standalone amendment.
