Just received this call from UNITE. Those of us, who are members of the Twitterati are being asked to tweet before tomorrow noon ahead of Eric Pickles facing the Communities and Local Government Committee next Monday.
Hi Tony,
This is Eric Pickles…. He is the man behind the biggest and most damaging cuts to council budgets ever to affect the community, voluntary sector and youth services funding. A 43% real terms cut in council funding in five years means entire services are being wiped out. Submit a question to Pickles via Twitter We think it’s time to put pressure on Pickles, and he’s given us a good opportunity to do it. On Monday 9 December, the Communities and Local Government Committee will hold an oral evidence session with Eric Pickles, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. MPs on the committee want to hear what questions you would put to Mr Pickles. Don’t hold back, whether you are a service user or a worker in the sector, now’s the time to have your say: Here are a few sample questions to help you out:
Remember to submit your question before 11pm on Wednesday 4 December and add the hashtag #AskPickles to any tweet you send – don’t forget to retweet as many times as possible. Many thanks, Sally Sally Kosky |
