FRIENDS OF HACKNEY NURSERIES HUSTINGS MEETING

THURSDAY 29TH APRIL, 6:30 P.M., OLD FIRE STATION, LESWIN ROAD



In the last few days, under cover of the election, many community nurseries
have been told that, with immediate effect, they will be having cuts in
their budget of up to 60%.  This means cuts of £40,000 to £50,000, which
will lead to the serious threat of nursery closures, and hardship and
distress for parents, workers and children. Meanwhile, the Learning Trust
and Hackney Council are denying that there is a programme of cuts to nursery
provision.



Friends of Hackney Nurseries want to know the truth, and they want to know
where all the different political parties stand on this issue. So we have
invited Rita Krishna, currently Cabinet Member of Hackney Council with
responsibility for Children and Young People, who is standing for
re-election as a Labour Party candidate in Stoke Newington Central ward, and
all the other candidates who are standing in the elections on Thursday 6th
May, to a hustings meeting to discuss their policies regarding nurseries and
young people generally.



The meeting will be held at the Old Fire Station, 61 Leswin Road, London N16
7NX, at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday 29th April 2010.



All welcome -- come armed with your questions.  This is your chance to find
out where all the political parties stand on the vital issues of concern to
us and our children.
