Fight unwanted privatisation


Conservative led councillors at Cornwall Council are trying to privatise services via the back door.
Last week a majority of Cornwall councillors, including myself, voted against the privatisation of council services. Even though they lost the vote, the Conservative and Independent cabinet (who run the council) have chosen to ignore this democratic view and have proceed with privatisation plans anyway.
Saving money is good but not at the cost of Cornwall ratepayers. Conservative  privatisation of water and the railway among other things has shown us why selling services to the highest bidder never ends well.
I am outraged, though not surprised, by the arrogance of the Conservatives who are going against the wishes of the majority.
If, like me, you think this is wrong and don't want Cornwall Council services to be privatised then please sign the e petition below
