<div class="gmail_quote">Saw today in Camden news about housing sell of reminded me of a possible strategy, to encourage doubting councillors to join us on other side of the barricades (against the corp- centralisation which is pushing the agenda) & so push case for whole councils to do same..? I've noted at many Enfield Council meetings a desire among some councillors to side with us (the genuinely) local activists in common cause against centralistion. I think that would be a good button to push, wherever we are, don't you? Or maybe you already are..

<div>Here's a links to some of what I read in printed edition, which includes residents views at the bottom of article, although I couldn't find the one in newspaper which expressly mentioned barricades: </div>

<div>As you'll see from article there will be a rmeeting on the 27th July at Camden Town Hall about this, which may glean some useful solidarity from other defenders of local services. </div>

<div>Another flashpoint to note is the hammersmith and fulham bunfight with Conservative Cllrs testing potential national policies on White City etc See eg <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/davehillblog/2009/jul/08/hammersmith-fulham-stephen-greenhalgh-housing-policy-boris-johnson" target="_blank">http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/davehillblog/2009/jul/08/hammersmith-fulham-stephen-greenhalgh-housing-policy-boris-johnson</a></div>
