Help Us Organise Local Public Meetings
We're planning to organise public meetings to mobilise local opinion to stop Brexit in 2018. If you can help out in any way please get in touch.
At the meetings we will inform local people about how Brexit will impact them, their businesses and their jobs. The information will be local and related more directly to them. We will show them than Brexit can and should be stopped and explain how they can help make this happen.
How will Brexit Impact the Local Economy?
We will research and present impacts to predominant local sectors:
