Disownage

Following a revamp of the local constitution, Northampton Council declared that in future members of the public would be restricted or even outright prevented from speaking at their meetings or petitioning council members on issues being discussed.

 

Thus, the local anti-cuts campaigners were told that they would no longer be able to speak at meetings. They quickly organised a small protest outside the next council meeting, which embarrased the council into allowing them inside to speak, and called the entire 'reform' into question. Go People Power!
