I've been in touch with Unison for details and will be attending on Thursday.
Emailed everybody I have contact details for who will be affected by the mental health related cuts, so hopefully will have a few people come along with me.

I really hope they get a good turnout. Word is the council meeting has been moved forward to avoid the councillors being shouted at by the protesters.

Oh the poor beleaguered councillors.
The gods forbid that something may happen to inconvenience them.

I do think that it's a bit of an overeaction for the council to move their meeting so that people can't tell them what they think. It will be interesting to see who votes against the motion that proposes that these decisions are delayed.

I guess the upshot is that if they've jumped to moving their meeting.
It means they either are or will be aware just how pissed people are.

The Lib Dem motion has given every elected member a way out on this. How many will support it?

You are presupposing that elected members decide how they vote - they will all do as they are told and vote along party lines as usual.
