Islington Labour Party Public Meeting

The meeting attended by 35 disabled people and their allies put on record the appalling treatment of disabled people internationally, nationally and locally by the Conservative government. The more than £200m cuts that Islington Council has been forced by the Government to make loomed large with disabled service users making it clear that Islington’s potential closure of mental health centres will put more strain on hard stretched NHS services and cost more to the public purse. Cllr Watts replied saying “nothing was decided and the council wanted to engage in genuine consultation and was open to any innovative ideas, but was being forced to make reductions”.
