[butterflea at riseup.net]

Hi all,
On wednesday friends of hackney nurseries will hand their petition into
hackney council.
http://www.petitiononline.com/fhn/petition.html
It would be great if people on this list could take 2 minutes to sign the
petition before then and if people are free please come to hackney town
hall on wednesday at 6pm to show support for this campaign.
Thanks,
Una

On Wednesday 21st July at 6 p.m. Friends of Hackney Nurseries will be
meeting outside the Town Hall, Mare St, E8 to hand in our petition to the
council.
We have invited Rita Krishna, member of Cabinet with responsibility for
Children and Young People (and member of the board of the Learning Trust),
to receive the petition from us before the Full Council meeting, which
starts at 7 p.m.
Thanks to vigorous campaigning by Friends of Hackney Nurseries, some of
the 13 nurseries who had their commissioning grants arbitrarily removed in
April have had most of their money restored. However, several have not,
and have had to cut wages, number of childcare places, and are still in
danger of closure.
There are still many unanswered questions about the future of our
nurseries, especially in the light of proposed cuts to all public
services.  And the Learning Trust is still not making itself transparent
and accountable to the people of Hackney.
Everyone who cares about nurseries, and indeed all the children of our
borough, is welcome to join us – come and show the council and the
Learning Trust that we will not be fobbed off.
