Decent Cheshire West LU meeting tonight, nine attending, despite doing NO WORK for the meeting (which showed rather in the organisation, sorry). Nonetheless a good discussion from all sides about the state of education, the rapid privatisation of the system through academies, and the NUT strike on March 26th - thanks to Greg Foster, from the local NUT.
Plus a load of other local organisation including launching a UNITE Community branch in Ellesmere Port. We should really minute these meetings and post them up here. Instead of which, see the pinned post above, for the coming months activities.
Next Cheshire West LU meeting was provisionally set for WEDNESDAY 19TH MARCH, 7PM, QUAKER MEETING HOUSE, CHESTER, 7 PM when we will be discussing the state of the NHS, or what is left of it, and the prospects for fighting back.
Oh, and for the record, we nominated Terri Conway for the National Executive (or whatever it's called).

LATEST IN THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST FRACKING
To keep up to date with the campaign against fracking and other extreme energy techniques, which are threatening the environment and water supply of our entire area, follow these Facebook pages:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/frackfreedee
This page is trying to pull together local opposition from all around the Dee estuary, especially given the threat of underground coal gasification underneath the whole of the estuary
Frack Free Upton https://www.facebook.com/groups/1394777480782876
A group to oppose the development of the drilling site in Upton - which is starting already.
We need more groups, for instance in Ellesmere Port and south of Chester and more campaigning and publicity - watch these pages (and this one).
