Responding to the news that Hull will be entering Tier 3 after lockdown, the Hull Liberal Democrats have hit out of the Government over the lack of support expected for the city.

The Liberal Democrats want to see more financial support for the city, to make sure the local economy and vital services can survive the latest phase of Covid19 restrictions.

The Opposition council group have also called for a collective effort to bring down the rates the city has seen in recent weeks.

Following the spending review of the Conservative Government, the Lib Dems in Hull have called on the Government not to forget cities in the North like Hull. 

The Hull Liberal Democrats led by Councillor Mike Ross, have expressed their disappointment at the spending review calling for more support for the most vulnerable in society.  

Hull Lib Dem councillors won the unanimous support of Hull City Council for its call for the Council to pursue a review of how the Council tackles discrimination. 

The motion moved by Liberal Democrat Councillor Holly Burton called for a 'new approach' to create an 'effective discrimination policy.' The motion also called for a 'zero tolerance approach to racism, homophobia and other forms of discrimination as well as specific training sessions on equality and diversity.'  

The majority opposition group on Hull City Council want to see the council lead on this issue in the city and set an example to other organisations in the area.

The Hull Liberal Democrats have today (18/11/20) called for the Government to extend the Furlough job retention scheme until June.

All Councillors, except two Conservative Councillors, backed the call from Lib Dem Councillor Mark Ieronimo. It was agreed that the Council would write to the Chancellor calling for an extension to the Furlough scheme.
 
The Liberal Democrats believe businesses need more time to plan and the extension until June would allow for that. This call would be to extend furlough to last until June, in order to protect Hull's economy and lead the way in providing financial support to residents.
