gathering outside Reading Civic Centre
Save Our Services in Reading, an independent organisation supported by UNISON regionally, is holding an event to mark the expected substantial cuts to public services this week.
People will be gathering outside the Civic Centre to pay their respects to jobs and services lost. The mourners will then take part in a funeral procession through the town centre culminating at Reading Station.
All are welcome to participate and mourners are invited to dress appropriately for the solemn occasion.
In a statement the group said that "as we mourn what has already passed, we must look to the future. The fabric of our society is under threat. Under the pretext of cutting ‘public sector debt’ a heinous crime is taking place. Our Government hopes to murder every public service we hold dear, one by one, in the biggest attack on working people in living memory. As we remember the fallen, we pledge to fight for the living."
