Update on Southall Black Sisters

Received this message on facebook :


Dear all -

STOP PRESS! SOUTHALL BLACK SISTERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN A 2 MONTH REPRIEVE BY EALING COUNCIL!

Please see below for an update from Rahila Gupta, of SBS:

'We are NOT holding the picket on Tuesday because the council has given us a 2 month reprieve.
The interviewing panels are unable to come to a decision between the four bidders. We can only assume that we were so good, in terms of scoring, that we may be at the top but of course we don't meet all the council's criteria, i.e. we are not prepared to provide a service a borough wide service for that sum of money and they may be worried that we will want to scrutinise their decision making process.
[At the moment,] we don't know what's going on. We are also going to judicial review.

Anyway WATCH THIS SPACE!'

We will keep you abreast of how this unfolds!!
