The second leaflet arrived today. Four page A4, four-colour. From the Conservatives again. And rather more information this time, effectively making the previous leaflet redundant (and therefore a waste of trees).
Pledges:
- to control council tax through a four-year detailed plan, to protect the elderly, vulnerable and people on low incomes.
- to introduce 'integrated schemes to enhance the local environment' (rather non specific).
- to 're-develop the Brighton Centre, carefully manage the West Pier re-generation, restore the Regency bandstand, ensure Brighton and Hove Albion FC gets a new fit-for-purpose stadium, and introduce a unified box-office for all key venues'.
- to establish a Tree Trust Fund to renew city trees.
- to work with tenants to bring all council housing up to the Decent Homes Standard and encouraging council house ownership.
On education, the candidates would 'monitor the future growth of the school population and plan accordingly'. An addition secondary school in the city is a possibility.

The Tories are putting a lot of money into campaigning in B+H - (they are still in shock at not winning Hove in the GE).
When it comes to the leaflet count - it should go back years to be fair to parties not just a few weeks or months.
I disagree about the leflet count. What matters is the proposition being put forward at this election. It is irrelevant how many leaflets the parties have issued over the years.
