Last Call For Stop The Strip Pub

by Kate Smurthwaite // 6 May 2008, 15:51

The hearing for this is tonight, 7pm at Hackney Town Hall, Mare Street, E8 1EA. You will not be allowed to speak at the hearing unless you lodged an objection earlier. However you are still welcome to attend and your support would be greatly appreciated, the more people come, the better!

For more information about the campaign to avoid the opening of a pole and table-dancing joint in the middle of residential Stoke Newington (in the same building as a venue used as a children's centre and a place of worship...!) please go over to the STSP website.

See you there if you're coming!!

Or if not maybe see you at the Abortion Rights Mass Lobby Of Parliament tomorrow. More info on that at the Abortion Rights Website.

Good luck at the hearing! Wish I lived in the UK, I'd totally be there. Opening a strip club in the same building as a place of worship and kids center is absolutely ridiculous. Post afterwards and let us all know how it goes!

Good luck everyone tonight!

Not being mean, but...you could have flagged up the abortion rights lobby and meeting more prominently. :-)

I work 2 mins up the road from HP :-) but only heard about it this evening at 6.40...would have gone but I had plans... :-( also it wasn't super clear on their website (not this one) if you could turn up just for the meeting/ if just anyone could go.

Apologies if you missed the lobby, I am just guest-blogging for May so when the lobby was first organised I didn't post it on here. The best way to stay informed is to actually join the Abortion Rights mailing list (or even better become a member for £2 a month). http://www.abortionrights.org.uk
