Carols Not Cuts Tonight

THIS JUST RECEIVED FROM ANTISCRAP “Please join us for Carols not Cuts TONIGHT (WEDNESDAY 12th) 7pm outside Waltham Forest town hall, Forest Road E17, (before the Full Council Meeting). Make sure the council realises we will notice if they try and sneak cuts through just before Xmas (like they did last year, whilst voting themselves a 30% pay rise).

Please circulate widely ASAP and do come along if you can - sorry for very short notice. Council appear to be playing games - they have just changed the times of their meetings because (we think) they got wind of our plan for a joint protest of all groups who are affected by the council’s current and planned cuts (residents, workers, those who use or care about services and arts provision, etc) .

There is some shelter at the town hall, but wrap warmly and feel free to bring any seasonal costumes, bits and pieces, musical instruments, or carol song sheets - here is one for starters (we’re still working on ‘the 12 days of christmas’ and ‘we wish you a merry christmas’…)”
