Dear Local Works Supporter
LOCAL SERVICES AND FACILITIES BILL NEWS
I have been on the phone to a journalist from the Independent who quietly informed me that a number of MPs who were drawn in the ballot last Tuesday are seriously considering taking up our bill!
This has been because they have received so many requests from individuals just like yourselves, so to all who have already written well done and thankyou very much.
But now we must redouble our efforts in order to have the best chance of securing the bill in Parliament this session. So please, if you have not already, write to the MPs in the ballot (I have attached the initial letter we sent you with all the details). If you have already written please ask friends, family, colleagues etc (the postman, the milkman, your hairdresser) and anyone else you can to please write to the MPs as well. If you are a constituent of an MP on the list then you writing would be /very /effective.
Attached is the bill and the original letter you were sent which has the 20 MPs on. You can forward this to your friends and contacts.
Best wishes and happy Christmas campaigning!
Steve
