The Tory Council in Warwickshire are enthusiastically following the instructions of their friends in the government to attack the basic social services in their area.

Among the cuts they plan to implement are the loss of over 200 teaching posts, a £2 million cut in school meals, milk and transport, school amalgamations are being discussed and it is likely that fees will be introduced for nursery education.

Staff are to go unreplaced in all the important services and school furniture and equipment is being cut back drastically.

The cuts are to be voted on formally at the full council meeting on November 20. Outside the meeting will be a mass lobby organised by the trade unions in the area.

The Warwickshire NALGO branch has initiated a united campaign of all public sector Ceha!!

AT THE unions and the Coventry Association of Trades Councils has passed a resolution from Nuneaton Trades Council calling for the setting up of anti-cuts committees throughout the county.

On October 22 a public meeting organised by Nuneaton Trades Council heard speakers from the NUT, NALGO, SPCS, POEU and TGWU urge support for the Nuneaton Against the Cuts Campaign (NACC).

The immediate focus of the Nuneaton campaign is the fight against the closure of the Attleborough Grange Old People's Home. This closure is so unpopular that many Tories are opposed to it and it is possible that the Council will keep it open.

If Attleborough Grange is not reprieved at the forthcoming meeting of the WCC Policy and Advisory Committee there must be a campaign for occupation and supporting strikes to stop the closure.

GENTLEMEN, OF COURSE IT'S A SHAME. A GOOD DAYS FLING BY ALL MEANS; BUT NOT WASTE TIME IMPLEMENTING OUR P DONT WE? JUST LOOK AT HIS RECORD, AFTER ALL... HAVE LET'S AN!
