Northants Council Crisis - Protesters Demand An End To Cuts And Privatisation

Hundreds of people protested against the devastating cuts and dire financial state of Tory-controlled Northamptonshire council on 17 February. Labour councillor and parliamentary candidate Gareth Eales told the crowd how his first attempt to run for council was denied after he expressed a strong opposition to private finance initiatives (PFI).

According to Eales he was deemed “not suitable to be a Labour councillor.” Gareth stood alongside fellow Corbyn-backing Labour councillors, ‘Save Northants Services’, the Socialist Party and many other campaign groups in calling for the end of PFI, privatisation and cuts.
