Petition Demand your Council Moves Your Money to a ethical or co-op bank
More details
A petition calling for all UK Councils to close bank accounts with major banks & Move Your Money to a cooperative or ethical bank.

Sign this petition & demand all UK Councils follow suit & close their accounts with the major banks & Move Your Money to a cooperative or ethical bank.
