Got an email from a reader who has been in touch with the BBC Politics show. They got a reply from Kate Mosse who tells that she's recorded a piece about the Save Barnets Libraries petition on the Politics Show.
This is how people feel in Barnet. They care about the libraries and they care enough to go out of their way. The BBC recognises the value of the libraries and the strength of the public campaign. Let's just hope that Barnet Council and Robert Rams finally take note.
And a note to the Barnet Times and the Barnet Press. This is becoming a National Story, we have 3,900 signatures and YOU GUYS HAVE IGNORED THE PETITION COMPLETELY !!!!!
Do your job boys and girls and tell the people what is happening, this is the biggest petition in Barnet for years. It is shameful that you haven't been keeping people informed.
And for the rest of you - if you haven't signed up yet - now is the time. We're getting dozens a day at the moment, don't miss out, sign up now and tell your friends.
Congrats Roger. This shows that your petition is the biggest of its kind in the UK and the taxpayers of Barnet are furious with our council especially here in Mill Hill.
ReplyDeleteYesterday the Students from Woodhouse were featured in the National Press and gave interviews as well.
Barnet is in a state of REVOLUTION because we have had enough. Shame on the local media for ignoring you - they are out of touch with what the people want and their circulation will surely fall as a result. More people are visiting your blog and the Mill Hill blog on a daily basis. People are getting their news from you rather than the Newspaper because you are covering what matters.
