The Campaign to defend the health Service in NW London, in particular to
oppose the closure of the Accident and emergency Department at Central
Middlesex, is well underway.
Campaigners got an excellent response in Harlesden and Willesden last
Saturday, and will be
outside the
Methodist Church, Harlesden and Sainsbury’s Willesden from 3-5 p.m. Saturday
afternoons for the next few weeks.
Please come along and show support. If you can help with the leafletting
and petitioning, even for a short time, all the better. There will be cards and
petitions you can take away to spread the word. People are putting these in
libraries, doctors surgeries and shops to win support.
Brent Council has also passed a resolution opposing the closure of the A
& E department at Central Middlesex, and there is an e-petion on the Council
website calling them to do all they can to support the campaign.
You can sign the e-petition here:
There have been problems with this Council website, though it is working at
the moment. If you find it is not working when you try, please try again the
next day.
The police have agreed to our request for permission to demonstrate from
Harlesden to the hospital on Saturday September 15th
at 12 noon

Fightback, are putting on an event “The Future of education in

On Saturday, October 20th, Trades Union Congress is
