Bedminster Against the Cuts public meeting - 24th Feb 7.30pm

Thursday 24th Feb 2011
Marksbury Road Library, BS3 5LG.
7.30pm


Come and hear about how the cuts will affect you and discuss what we can do to stop them.

On Feb 22nd Bristol City Council will vote on £28 million of cuts in jobs and services to our city, 7% of the total budget. This includes over £7m to health and adult social care, £2.7m cut from Connexions, a career advice service for young people, over £1m from youth play & outdoor education, almost £2m from public transport and around £200k from the council's anti-drugs strategy amongst many other things. This is on top of all the cuts from national government, including the attacks on the NHS.

They want ordinary people to pay for this crisis. We say we must fight back against the cuts!

The government's U-turn on the sell-off of the forests is a small but important victory in the fight against cuts. It shows that campaigning can work, now we must stand together to fight ALL the cuts.
