Haringey's new CEO - engineer of "One Barnet" council

Haringey Alliance for Public Services meeting - Wednesday 24th Oct

Haringey is about to employ a controversial Chief Executive fresh from running the notorious Barnet 'easyCouncil' / 'One Barnet' mass privatisation and cuts programme. See other thread.

If we are to continue to speak up for our public services and to defend them from cuts and the threats of privatisation we need to discuss this urgently. The Barnet Alliance for Public Services has been promoting and coordinating community and workplace opposition to Barnet Council's plans. They have distributed tens of thousands of their own 'Our Barnet' newspaper. 80 activists attended their recent AGM. The much loved library in Friern Barnet, closed by the Council, has been re-occupied and reopened to the public by activists. So we can take heart from the inspirational anti-cuts campaigning efforts in our neighbouring borough.

The next HAPS meeting has been scheduled in the week following the mass TUC demonstration on Oct 20th. Please can all local community and workplace activists and organisations try to attend to discuss the way forward.....
