In the name of Councillor Sitkin
This Council deplores the reduction in Enfield residents’ purchasing power, hence in their ability to support local businesses, as a direct result of the Government’s regressive VAT hike and the London Mayor’s unwarranted fares’ hike.
We therefore call upon George Osborne and Boris Johnson respectively to replace these misguided policies with other more progressive funding measures that do not target the disadvantaged in Enfield’s communities the way these Conservative politicians are currently doing.
