Nottingham City Council Comes Out In Favour of Law Centre

The council adopted a motion supporting its local Nottingham Law Centre and opposing the government's proposed legal aid cuts.

In its meeting on Monday, 12th September 2011, Nottingham City Council adopted a motion tabled by Councillor Nick McDonald in support of the access to legal advice. The motion also expressed support of the local Law Centre and opposition to the massive cuts to legal aid mooted by government.

The Law Centres Federation is pleased to see this motion adopted, and is heartened by the support from local people and their elected officials standing by their Law Centre. We encourage other local authorities to follow this example and come out in favour of legal advice, legal aid and Law Centres.
