If you haven’t already heard, a group of concerned residents on the Island are planning to stage a peaceful demo outside County Hall on Wednesday this week.
The reason for their demonstration is simple, they wish to object to the massive cuts proposed by this council to services supporting vulnerable people.
The knock on effect of the cuts will hit places such as Westminster House and Haylands Farm.
If you’re a regular reader of VB, the you will already have seen our live coverage of the Scrutiny and Overview committee meeting where the proposals were first aired.
This was following by a presentation made by Steve Beynon to the voluntary sector which resulted in several podcasts with service providers.
Peaceful demo to send message
Prior to the full council meeting on Wednesday 24th to vote on the proposals, it’s hoped the demo at 4.30pm this Wednesday 17th February will send a message to those in County Hall responsible for making decisions.
