Save Our Local Public Services
Say NO to CUTS - Unfair, unacceptable, unnecessary

Bring friends, workmates and neighbours and your own placards and banners

In addition to the main event, we're also calling for local protests at threatened sites around the borough from 5pm - 6pm

On the day Councillors will be discussing and voting on whether to make savage £41m cuts, we call on all those who live or work in Haringey to come and speak out together. We don't have to accept this - we can stop cuts, closures and privatisation threats. Together we can defend our vital public services!

Good public services, and a universal welfare system, are central to what's good about Haringey and our lives. We all need good health care, schools and nurseries, community centres, well-run parks and libraries, social services, affordable housing, safe and attractive neighbourhoods, decent jobs, and an adequate and reliable income for unwaged people. Previous generations fought hard to win such improvements.

FACING CLOSURE: older peoples' residential homes and day centres, youth clubs, and voluntary projects and facilities

BUDGETS SLASHED: parks' staffing and maintenance, librairies and schools

HUGE CUTS: NHS services and local Further Education colleges

UNDER THREAT: hundreds of local public service jobs... and much more

Last year 5,000 people successfully marched to save Whittington Hospital services. 1,000 local youth are campaigning to save their youth centres. Students, backed by trades unions, have held many demonstrations and occupations to defend education. Many others have started to object and protest about proposed cuts affecting their services and jobs.
