Petition Save our Citizen Advice Bureaux around the country from closure because councils' have no funding due to harsh budget cuts by government
More details
Due to the drastic government cuts in council's budgets CAB is having to close bureaux and make staff redundant all around the country.
It has been the place where people could go to receive assistance for whatever problem they had since the war.
The service will be greatly reduced over the country due to drastic reduction in finances. Some may say this is happening to many charitable organisation and is no different from other charities, and they would be right, The difference with CAB is that in nearly every decision letter, or leaflet sent to a client by government department, Inland Revenue or creditor they say 'you can seek independent advice from your nearest Citizens Advice Bureau'. Clients will not be able to access a loca CAB soon.
Please sign this petition to make government think about the impact their decisions are making on the general public and what is happening in your community.
