<P class=MsoNormal>Join Friends of Hackney Nurseries to hand in our petition</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>On Wednesday 21<SUP>st</SUP> July at 6 p.m.</B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>Friends of Hackney Nurseries will be meeting outside the
Town Hall, Mare St, E8 to hand in our petition to the council.</B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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.<SPAN> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There are still many unanswered questions about the future of
our nurseries, especially in the light of proposed cuts to all public
services.<SPAN> </SPAN>And the Learning Trust is still not making itself
transparent and accountable to the people of Hackney.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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.</P>
