Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

A recently formed alliance is urging everyone who lives or works in Haringey to join together in resisting central government cuts to local services. The Government will be announcing its controversial National Budget on October 20th.

The Haringey Alliance for Public Services (HAPS) is calling on local people to show their opposition to proposed cuts by joining a march from Wood Green Library (5.30pm) to a rally outside Wood Green Civic Centre (6.30pm) today, Monday 18th October where the Council will be holding a full meeting of all the borough's Councillors.

Over 120 anti-cuts protesters braved a very wet autumn evening on September 14th to show their opposition before the last Council Cabinet meeting. HAPS are hoping for a good turnout again today. Community groups and trade union branches are being encouraged to bring their banners and to speak at the rally about the services they provide and use.

Haringey Council estimates it will make £60m cuts over the next four years. This is on top of the £17m which Central Government has already cut from our local services in the last 4 months. HAPS fear what they describe as a "devastating impact of these cuts for all sections of our local communities".

HAPS is also supporting the national anti-Budget mass protests in Central London on Budget Day (Oct 20th) and the following Saturday (Oct 23rd)
