Liberal Democrat councillors last night voted against Labour's plans to increase council rents by 6%.
Group Leader Cllr Brian Woodcraft explained:
"A 6% increase in council rents is totally unreasonable in the current economic circumstances. It is based on the inflation rate several months ago.
"Some of the poorest people in the borough will be directly affected by this inflation-busting increase. Labour should be ashamed of themselves.
"The Liberal Democrats will continue to campaign for a fairer deal for council tenants."
