Council Tax protestor appeared at Magistrate Court

10-08-2013 12:55

1.00pm Thurday 8 August. Nottingham Magistrates Court

Council Tax protestor Ross Longhurst with supporters at Nottingham Magistrates were a liability order was served against him.

 

Council Tax protestor Ross Longhurst appeared at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on 8th. August.  He was charged with failing to make Council Tax payments to Nottingham City Council and a liability order was served against him.  Ross told the magistrates that he was refusing to pay up because the Council want more money for less services and they have been slashing services which hit vulnerable people such as the disabled, sick, old and children.

There were supporters with placards outside the Court and Ross told them that it was rich bankers who brought about the financial crisis but the Government which is forcing the rest of us to pay their debts.  Thousands of people in Nottingham and elsewhere are not paying Council Tax because they simply cannot afford it.  Many families have been reduced to needing handouts from food banks. Labour-controlled Nottingham City Council, like all other local councils across the country, have done nothing to resist the Coalition Government's austerity programme which hits the poorest people hardest.

People who can afford to pay Council Tax should withhold it in solidarity with those who cannot afford it.  Already non-payment is spreading throughout the country and if enough of us take action then it will create a financial crisis for local government as happened with the anti-poll tax campaign.  This could force a change of policy by the Coalition Government.

Nottingham Green Festival + Vegan Festival

10-08-2013 12:55

The Nottingham Green Festival is confirmed for Sunday 1st September.

The event, now in its 22nd year, is independently organised by grass routes community based volunteers, with no statutory funding. The ethical standards and environmental / human / animal rights ethos of the event are long established, having evolved from the pre-history of the Nottm Peace Festival from which it has grown.

If you are able to run a fund-raiser, book a stall for your group or encourage others to do so, that might make all the difference in ensuring the success of Nottingham's own Green Festival, the place for the whole family to learn, explore and try the latest in everything environmentally friendly and ethical, whilst also having lots of fun in the beautiful setting of the Arboretum Park, Waverley Street / Addison Street, a couple of minutes from Nottingham's Old Market Square.

This event has over 100 product, information and food stalls, kids rides, workshops, alternative therapies and technologies, live performers, entertainments throughout the park, live music bands performing from the bandstand alongside Veggies Catering Campaign and the Vegan Festival within the Green Festival

Nottingham Vegan Festival at Nottingham Green Festival

Vegan-friendly stall holders, businesses & groups invited to the Nottingham Vegan Festival at Nottingham Green Festival Sunday 1st September 2013 12noon to 6pm at Nottingham Arboretum

For 6 years, from 2005 - 2009, Veggies and other vegan campaigners helped organise the East Midlands' Vegan Festival which welcomed over 2000 members of the public each year to the Council House on Nottingham's Old Market Square.

Returning in 2013, the Vegan Festival team are very grateful to the Nottingham Green Festival for providing space to hold a Vegan Festival within the Green Festival.

We invite you to book your stall in the usual way then, contact Veggies to join the 'vegan village' space, together with Veggies Catering Campaign, in and around our marquee near the Bandstand.

We hope that adding the thousands that attend the many Vegan Festivals around the UK to the thousands that attend the Green Festival will make an event truly not to be missed.

If you are attending please contact us, so that we can publicise you at http://www.veggies.org.uk/event.php?ref=500#veganfest
