    Brighton and Hove City Council could have borrowed tens of millions of pounds more than it has done towards housing spending - despite asking Government to let it borrow more.

    There's currently a cap on how much councils can borrow towards housing. Many in local government say that should change - .

    But I've learned that, according to the council's latest forecast, Brighton and Hove will finish the financial year 拢27m under its limit.

    Brighton and Hove is allowed to borrow up to 拢156.8m towards housing spending

    Opposition Green councillors have jumped at this. They say the council should use that room to borrow, now, and buy more housing to tackle homelessness.

    The council points out that it plans to borrow 拢30m over the next three years - not as quickly as the Greens would like, but borrowing nonetheless. That takes it over the cap in 2021.

    It says that unless the cap is lifted, it won't be able to plan new projects.

  19. Armed police called to 'firearm' incidentpublished at 19:29 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2018

    Armed police were called after receiving reports that a gun had been fired in St John's Road, Leatherhead earlier today.

    Surrey Police said in a statement: 鈥淲e were called earlier today by an anonymous caller alleging that a man in a specific vehicle had discharged a firearm.

    "The same vehicle was spotted shortly afterwards by officers and kept under observation until it stopped in St John鈥檚 Road, Leatherhead.

    鈥淪pecialist firearms officers detained two men in the vehicle, and a third person (a woman) in a nearby property.

    "Early investigations suggest that there was no firearm in the vehicle or property, and there is no evidence of a firearm being discharged.

    鈥淲e want to thank the public for their understanding as we dealt with this incident.鈥

    A council has won 拢15m for a leisure centre development

    Brighton and Hove City Council's King Alfred project will see the ageing King Alfred Leisure Centre replaced with new sports facilities as part of a development which also includes homes.

    The government announced a 拢866m investment to get 200,000 new homes built, and Brighton's project will benefit from part of the money.

    Council leader Warren Morgan said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e massively pleased and proud to have submitted a bid which has won the second largest single sum in the country.

    "It speaks volumes for our commitment to providing the housing the city desperately needs, alongside a first-class leisure centre. We have achieved a very significant step forward after years of difficulty getting this project off the ground.鈥
