I've just handed in my personal copy of the Southport Party's petition against the closure of the Botanic Gardens Museum. Southport Anti Cuts Coalition managed to collect 296 physical signatures and 6 email signatures. John Lee informed me that David Cobham has already collected 1100. Thanks everybody for their help and if you would like to add your support it isn't too late.
The full council meeting to decide the fate of the museum and other things in Sefton is being held on 16th december (Thursday). Please come along to the public meeting to speak in support of the museum. The Southport Party will be presenting the petition at this meeting in Bootle Town Hall scheduled to begin at 6.30pm on Thursday.
The agenda is here:

Bootle Town Hall is on oriel road - L20 7AE
UNISON and PCS etc are holding a mass lobby demonstration at the town hall from 4pm. There will be representatives from the unions and Sefton Green Party there. Please come along and support this action which says no to cuts in Sefton, not just the botanic, but also other things like Sefton new directions. Our council has been told to make £38million in savings these cuts are unprecendented and will affect all of our lives. We are yet to find out where savings are going to made and what the precise consequences of the cuts will be. UNISON is going to produce a leaflet with alternatives to the cuts in Sefton.
Nina from SACC will be at the Demo this afternoon.
