Save Risca Citizens Advice !
As part of its 2020 budget, Caerphilly Council proposes to cut the funding it makes to Citizens Advice.
These cuts follow other reductions made over the last few years, and if they go ahead, Citizens Advice will be forced to close its office in Park Road Risca.
This petition asks Caerphilly Council to reconsider these cuts. (Note that if you have already signed the petition in our Risca office, you don't need to sign again).
Why is this important?
Risca Citizens Advice provides people with free and independent advice on many issues, including welfare benefits, debt, employment, family and relationships and consumer matters.
The office is currently open for drop-ins on Mondays and Thursdays, and pre-arranged appointments on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. If the Risca office is forced to close, the nearest alternative within the Caerphilly Council area will be over 11 miles away in Bargoed.
