Lots to report today...
e-Petition
The e-petition to the Prime Minister was launched this morning, we are nearly up to 40 signatures and that's just in the first few hours. If we get 200 signatures the Prime Minister's office has to formally reply to the petition, so do sign up and get all your friends and family to sign up too! Two Greater London Assembly (GLA) members have signed: Caroline Pidgeon (Lib Dem) who is Deputy Chair of the GLA Transport Committee and Jenny Jones (Green Party) who is GLA Deputy Chair of the Planning and Spatial Development Committee and a member of the GLA Transport Committee. Cllr Paul Convery (Lab) of Caledonian Ward LB Islington has also signed up - Caledonian Ward abutts the boundary with LB Camden in the middle of York Way.
Public meeting flyers
The e-flyer for the public meeting, to be held at 7pm on 16 July is now available in A4 and A5 formats, as well as a 'two-up' format on an A4 page ready to be copied onto A5 paper and cut in half. The A4 version is single-sided and the A5 version is double sided. Please email the flyer to as many contacts as you can!

We have to thank a locally based international company who will be covering print costs - the print version will begin distribution from this weekend, we desperately need volunteers to leaflet door-to-door. Email us here if you can put aside even just half an hour to do some leafleting next week.
Press coverage
The Community Newswire have carried a story on the campaign today and press releases on both the e-petition and public meeting have gone to a very wide range of local, regional and national media. If you have press contacts thay would be interested in receiving our press releases, do email us with their details.
