A special meeting of Derry City and Strabane District Council is being held today at 2pm to hear from Freeze the Cuts campaign, Unite the Union and Age NI representatives calling for the reinstatement of the winter fuel payment.
A protest organised by Freeze the Cuts and backed by UCU, NUJ, Derry Trades Union Council, Foyle Network Foundation, Creggan Community Collective, Derry Women’s Centre, NI Anti-Poverty Network and many other organisations will be held before the meeting at 1.30pm at the Guildhall.
Freeze the Cuts says they are asking “people to fill the Guildhall chamber to send a clear message to Keir Starmer and the Stormont Executive that this cruel and dangerous cut must be reversed”.
