Demonstration outside Council House in Market Square - 15 October 2008

It's been a while since my last post, so you may think that things have gone quiet on the Post Office campaign front over the Summer holiday period. But, many of us are still meeting every Wednesday at 7.30pm at the Ukranian Centre on Mansfield Road and we have been working with the consultant that the Council has hired to look into the feasibility of reopening the Post Offices.

And we are now going to hold a demonstration outside the Council House to hand over the petition, show our support for the Council's investigations into reopening the Post Offices, and to show what strong community support there still is for Carrington and New Lenton Post Offices. We must keep the pressure up if we want to get our Post Offices back!

The demo will start at 2.30pm on Wednesday 15 October outside the Council House in Market Square [by the lions].

With the Pensioner's Action Group and Nottingham University's Student Union joining us, this demo promises to be our biggest yet so please do try to come along and show your support. If you are able to, please bring along your own placcards and any spare ones that others could use. The aim of the demo is to encourage the Council to do as much as they can and as quickly as possible to reopen our Post Offices.

We are having a planning meeting on Tuesday 14 October at 7.30pm at the Ukranian Centre - please try to attend if you are able to.
