We Won! 14/08/18 There has been an announcement this morning from a union whose members were among those going to be transferred to this company which says the Trust has changed its mind. "At a meeting Monday morning UNISON stewards received confirmation from Director Mark Braden that the Trust has stopped all work, both for now and in the future, on forming a Wholly Owned Subsidiary company." Thanks to our pressure with the leaflets sent to the Board, and the petition, combined with the voices of local MPs, the staff at the hospitals due to be affected, are very pleased to remain 100% NHS. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/mps-urge-mid-yorkshire-hospitals-trust-to-ditch-staff-transfer-plan-1-9282554 Thanks for getting behind this issue. It shows that when people get together they can effect change for the better. WE WON!!!!!

UPDATE: 16/06/14 Congratulations! First announced cuts to bus fares in Bath for families, children and young people. These changes are definitely a step in the right direction. We could have hoped for more, but the campaign’s main job is done. My next move is to send the petition to Paul Matthews as a reminder of our views. In the meantime it’s important that we all keep an eye on fares, especially in January when rises are usually implemented. I see the final job for the campaign is ensuring that bus prices never rise out of control again.

Update 14/05/15: We won! The fire service withdrew as soon it became apparent that they were involved in a controversy. We'll be keeping an eye on the council's next moves in case they try to find another way to demolish the building.

UPDATE: 26th January 2015 - We've done it! I attended the council meeting yesterday, and they've finally agreed to install this much needed, and long overdue pedestrian crossing after 5 years! It couldn't have been done without you, thank you to all of you!

Update - 20/04/16 We Won! Stockport Council has decided not to implement the Public Space Protection Order. Stockport United Against Austerity wrote to Eamonn Boylan, Chief Executive of the Council to raise objections about the effects of the Order on homeless people and concerns that the consultation had not met with Government legislation. He did not reply, but when challenged verbally he said that he was dissatisfied with the 'evidence base' and that it did not justify the Order. Well done everyone, public objection can work! www.stockportunitedagainstausterity.weebly.com

This campaign was a success! Well done to everyone who was involved - together we did it!

Positive outcome achieved

Stop Staff Cuts at New Malden Post Office has been a success! Originally, 4 members of staff were lost, which worked out to 110 hours. This resulted in queue times of, in some cases, 50 minutes! (No exaggeration, we recorded the time!) Thanks to our campaign we have had a massive 75.5 hours restored. The response to our campaign was phenomenal, with the community really getting behind our campaign.
