Campaigns
Benjamin Court Campaign
The campaign to get Benjamin Court re-opened for reablement continues in a time of change for the NHS. The government has decided to close NHS England and bring its role back into central government and cut funding for the 42 local integrated care boards (ICBs) by 50%. The hope of the Campaign is that these changes may bring the running of the NHS under better democratic control and that they will be more ready to listen to the voice of local people about their health needs.
People in North Norfolk feel that their needs have been ignored by the ICB in favour of those of Norwich. The hope of the Save Benjamin Court Campaign is that the organisational changes may bring the running of the NHS under better democratic control and that they will be more ready to listen to the voice of local people about their health needs. They have made a film which was premiered at Cromer Community Centre in April. It can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NMF8U6KTHg

News
Local Councils scrapped & Elections Cancelled
Local elections scheduled for May in nine council areas in England including Norfolk, are being postponed for at least a year to allow local government reorganisation to go ahead. This decision means that more than five million people across the country will lose the chance to vote in local elections this year including all of Norfolk.
Green Party co-leader and Norfolk MP Adrian Ramsay said: ‘It is hard to think of anything more anti-democratic than cancelling elections ahead of a significant change in local democracy. It is straight out of an authoritarian playbook. The Green Party is urging the Government to protect democracy, allow these elections to take place and get around the table with elected representatives of all parties to discuss how to make devolution work for people in local areas across the country.’
