Suspension of Cllr Gideon Bull for standing up for local care services.

You may be aware that Labour Councillor Gideon Bull spoke out against the closure by Haringey Council of a number of Day Centres in the borough for those suffering from dementia. (The only one to do so.) His temerity in speaking out resulted in a three month suspension from the Labour Party. This has really put Haringey on the (international) map. A petition was launched to have him reinstated. At the time of writing the number of signatories has reached in excess of 60,000 worldwide!

If you feel that he has been unjustly treated for putting the case for the elderly and vulnerable then please sign this petition. Irrespective of the outcome for Cllr. Bull, Haringey Council are firmly committed to the closure of these centres no matter what (including an injection of funds possibly resulting in an increase in Council Tax targeted to pay for aspects of the social services budget.) You might wish to convey your feelings to your local Labour Councillor who will have voted for this.
