Protect the B&NES Youth Services!
Rather unsurprisingly, there are cuts planned for all sorts of things in B&NES. The Youth Service being one of them.

We intend to register our discontent with the Council's policy of closing down our youth Centres; one of the only safe spaces for young people. They're somewhere we can go that doesn't annoy anyone else, provides information and education and gives the impression someone listened to what we need. Let's try and save some of them in B&NES, shall we?

Come, bring your placards, let them know we won't stand for service and job cuts.
Already savaged in previous rounds of spending cuts, the Youth Service is once more being targeted as a "soft option" for cuts. I think the Tory council should know that young people won't let their services go under, and the workers in them aren't going to surrender their jobs without a fight.

The protest will take place outside an Overview & Scrutiny panel meeting, so make some noise! Also, if you've got any bright ideas for giving it more impact, get in contact.

This crisis was not of our making. It should not be down to us to pay for it.
