Protest against sheltered housing warden cuts, 19 May, Hendon Town Hall
Here are a couple of pictures of the lively lobby of the annual council meeting on Tuesday 19 May. More than 60 residents and supporters protested against proposed sheltered housing warden cuts; six residents presented a petition with 1,600 signatures to the outgoing mayor John Marshall, who promised to look again at the proposals and discuss them with his fellow Conservative councillors.
The decision on the proposal will be announced at the Cabinet meeting on Monday 8 June. We are organising a lobby from 6pm. The venue is likely to be Barnet House in Whetstone. If anyone would like to put a question to the Cabinet there is provision for this in the agenda. You need to email your question before 10am on Wednesday 27 May to david.seabrooke@barnet.gov.uk [we undersatnd Mr Seabrooke is no longer working for the council. Send emails to nick.musgrove@barnet.gov.uk]. For more details of the lobby please email wardens@barnettuc.org.uk.
