Anti-cuts councillors in Redbridge are challenging the ruling Labour group’s austerity measures whose attempts to stifle debate provoked disruption of the East London borough’s 27 February budget-setting meeting by community campaigners.
Local campaign groups Shape and Aylesham Community Action held a protest march of 500 people, the likes of which do not happen often in south London.
Haringey Labour council has agreed to hike council tax by 5%, and continues to cut services and attack its workers. Teachers are striking against class size increases and housing maintenance workers in Unite the Union are in a long-standing dispute with the council.
Protesters gathered to oppose cuts, a council tax hike, and plans to sell off local assets. The Labour council aims to put up council tax by 10%, council rents by 2.7%, and cut council tax support by 10%.
NEU members at three schools in the north-east London borough of Waltham Forest are taking six days of strike action, alongside several other schools in London, demanding the removal of performance-related pay (PRP).
