Picket of Vestas Warrington

I counted fourteen of us there outside a completely dead building. Judy and Amy's leafleting during the week had more impact. But with BBC, Sky and Granada here this morning there is clearly a buzz around the occupation and a willingness to pursue it as a story.

More interesting perhaps was the bucket collection and petition outside Craig House and the Town Hall in Bury yesterday. Some people had heard of it, most were supportive in some degree. Only one hostile reaction from a woman who is going to lose several thousand a year from the job evaluation in the council.

The leaflets for Tuesday's meeting were taken and it looks set to go well.
