Apologies for short notice -- we have only just heard that about these huge cuts to nursery budgets in Hackney, and we want to mobilise people to help try and save them, so we are organising an emergency public meeting THIS THURSDAY 22ND APRIL 6:30 P.M. -- further details below. It is outrageous that Hackney Council/The Learning Trust should think that they can get away with attacking services to women and working-class people in this way, and just before the election.

FRIENDS OF HACKNEY NURSERIES INVITE YOU TO A 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.
