Playing political games with the local voluntary sector won't save Brighton Women's Centre (The Argus, October 25).
Councillor Brian Oxley says he has £30,000 for the Women's Centre to save it from closing.
Well, if that really is the case, he needs to put it on the table today, not next April.
The centre loses its paid worker in a few weeks' time and could be closed by Christmas.
And how will the Tories get this kind of money?
They don't control Brighton and Hove City Council and surely have no access to budgets to approve this amount?
Unless he has the money ready to hand over, he shouldn't be putting out self-serving press releases.
It raises false hope among vulnerable people, who care about this special place.
Trying to score cheap, political points with the voluntary sector and making false promises will not keep the Brighton Women's Centre open.
