hackney nursery occupied now against closure

The nursery is Hackney's oldest, established more than fifty years ago, purpose-built, and in a beautiful location (especially for an inner-city area). Over 40 children enjoyed excellent care at the nursery, in a positive, multi-racial setting.
But Hackney Council would rather shell out money to private companies and over-paid Directors than continue to provide decent public nursery care. Many other community facilities have suffered cuts and closures, and nursery campaigners are hoping to link up with these for a united fightback.
Nursery workers had been prepared to take industrial action against the closure, but did not receive sufficient support from their trade union, UNISON. This has been a big disappointment.
