Demo at County Hall about Florence Park Children's Centre

Despite 1500 signatures, the County Council will, on Tuesday at 2pm, recommend handing over Florence Park Children’s Centre to a private nursery.

This means a public funded community asset that is much loved will be privatised.

Please ensure that your presence is felt and your voices heard before councillors go into this meeting. The full report can be read here: https://goo.gl/K3fSdV 

Call to Action! 

Turn up at 1.30pm outside County Hall with or without a placard. Here are some suggestions for placards or choose your own eg 
- "Community asset for all" 
- "Over 1500 signatures - IGNORED" 

Send an email to the Councillors – list below – asking them to ensure that the community asset of the Florence Park Children’s Centre is not handed over to a private organisation, and that we work together to find a long-term community-owned solution.
