@followers Our October Update including big details on a recent Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council vote
Why is Health Care a non-issue for the government? Pay now or pay more later!!? Open the bank, creat jobs, save lives and make everyone happy. I can never figure out how this is such a hard thing to do!! “It’s complicated” is for the weak. Get it done!
🚨 Reminder! 🚨
Join us tonight at 18:00 outside the Basingstoke Council offices for a peaceful protest in support of Cllr Sean Dillow, following Cllr Lee's lead in requesting temporary ice while the rink is being refurbished. 🏒❄️
This is a vital time to show our support and make our voices heard for the future of ice sports in Basingstoke. Let's come together as a community to keep the pressure on! 💪
We look forward to seeing everyone there tonight! 🙌
