Brighton and Hove City Council are failing their women constituents. Stephanie Davies-Arai from Transgender Trend also highlighted the absence of single-sex services for women who’ve been raped, saying “a Labour councillor has just resigned because Brighton and Hove City Council won’t listen to residents’ concerns about this.” Brighton resident, Frances Bill, said it so well on social media on Saturday: “It's almost as though women don't matter in Brighton and Hove.” Should councillors act illegally over single-sex facilities and services, they can expect the inevitable legal challenge. Andy Winter is a former councillor who worked in social care and homelessness services for 40 years.
