Enfield has received an extra £203 million over the next three years from Westminster’s ‘Fair Funding Review’ redistribution of government grants between local councils. Now Enfield’s Keir Starmer-supporting Labour council can’t say ‘the money isn’t there’, but we have to campaign for them to spend it on our services and not just push on with their austerity agenda!

Come and have your say on what Enfield needs, to draw up a no more cuts ‘People’s Budget’ expansion of public services for anti-austerity candidates to take into the council chamber after May’s elections.
