Massive cuts on the way for Hackney people
Following the general election in May we now have a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government. Thirteen years of high public spending and undertaxing has left a legacy of a massive national debt that some calculate will be £1.4 trillion by 2014. This new government has announced their priority will be to cut this deficit. The cuts to public spending being suggested for the next few years may total over £100 billion, while it is thought some I million public sector jobs will be lost. These cuts will affect all public services from hospitals to social care, from education to transport. We already know Homerton Hospital is facing major cuts in spending.

Building on the success of our great Celebrate Hackney! event we will be holding our next Workers Advice session on Saturday 3 July @ The Crypt, St Peter’s Church, 65 De Beauvoir Rd, London, N1.
