Petition Handed In To Wokingham Council

Last night, Thursday 22nd, we handed in our 2,374 strong petition opposing the privatisation of Wokingham's libraries. 

Because the petition is over 1,500 signatures, according to the Council's own constitution, it should trigger a debate on the privatisation of our libraries at the next Council meeting (November 17th).

We'd like to thank everyone who signed and helped collect signatures. 

The next stage of our campaign will be more difficult. We now need to convince councillors to support us in the debate and oppose privatisation. You can help by telling them how you feel. Write to them at http://www.writetothem.com/ or find them on Wokingham Council's website at http://wokingham.gov.uk/council/councillors/councillors-database/ .

We're now on Facebook

We thought it was time we branched out on to Facebook .

( Once we have 25 Likes for the page we'll be able to ask for a better link ).

It's amazing how many people are still unaware of the Council's plans to to privatise our library service, please help us let them know by showing your support on Facebook.

Once again, the page is http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Our-Libraries-In-Wokingham/241135085913936 .
