Working for a rejection of housing stock transfer in Renfrewshire

Your help is wanted and needed. You can also call 07976 718 111 to say you want to help. There is to be a ballot of all council tenants in Renfrewshire on the proposal to transfer from the council to Renfrewshire housing association ltd, starting on September 19th. We have been working for 2 1/2 years in preparation for this, and are
confident that we can win a NO vote to put further pressure on government
following the NO vote in Edinburgh last year. However, Renfrewshire council
have been spending millions of pounds in recent weeks to bribe tenants with
glossy leaflets, bus adverts, and canvassers.

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN. The groundwork has been done. Our own surveys
suggest that we are just ahead, but we need to consolidate our vote and
dispel the myths in the next few weeks. WE NEED AS MANY VOLUNTEERS TO COME
TO RENFREWSHIRE AS POSSIBLE TO LEAFLET AND CANVASS. Call 07976 718 111
today.... Please !

Every Thursday night until the ballot we will be meeting at 6.30pm in the
Lagoon leisure centre carpark in the centre of Paisley (access from Mill
street, opposite the police station and council building). If people are
arriving later, or wish to leaflet or canvass on another day, they can phone
me for materials and details of where to go.

We would greatly appreciate any help other branches, groups or individuals
can give. A NO vote here would be likely to sink this policy for Scotland,
and force them to invest the money directly. Please spread the word.

Many thanks

secretary of Renfrewshire Defend Council Housing.
