Campaign group Save Stockbridge has organised an emergency meeting to discuss the collapse of the wall adjacent to Edinburgh Accies rugby ground on Comely Bank Road.
A Save Stockbridge spokesperson said: “This is a very controversial issue and local people are infuriated at what has happened to the wall and how it has been allowed to collapse.”
The meeting will take place on Wednesday 17 December at 8pm at the LifeCare Centre on Cheyne Street. All welcome.
North Edinburgh Fights Back are holding a public meeting to discuss the Bedroom Tax at the Old Kirk on Pennywell Road tomorrow (Thursday 9 May) from 7 – 9pm.
All welcome.
Bin the Bedroom Tax!
All welcome to an open meeting to start a local fight-back group in Muirhouse to resist the bedroom tax and the cuts.
7pm Thursday 25 April
Millennium Centre, 7 Muirhouse Medway
We want to create a strong independent local group to:
· stop any evictions for rent arrears due to the cuts : if needbe by defending homes against the sheriff officers
· battle for the complete abolition of the bedroom tax
· fight for all the rent arrears from the bedroom tax to be written off – and for all who have paid the rent increase to be paid back
· support all local people affected in making an appeal against the cut to their Housing Benefit and/or in applying for a Discretionary Housing Payment
· be a way for local people to organise grass-roots resistance: we do not support any political party
· link-up with other groups in North Edinburgh, round the city, Scotland and Britain to co-ordinate our fight-back
· oppose all the cuts – why should we pay for the greed of the rich and for the crisis of their unfair system?
Don’t give up your tenancy – join us to fight back!
CAN’T PAY – WON’T MOVE!
