Independent Working Class Association in Brixton?

[ernestolynch]

I just saw my name here and here I am. Great earlier post, AK, fantastic.

I can't see an IWCA working in Brixton at all - for the reasons Spud posted (on this thread or another one)...I've lived 3 miles from Brixton for the past six years or so, and visited the place less times than I have fingers, but it seems to me to have a very transient, studenty, bohemian type population, it did in 1997 anyway.

I'll be there to see the Furries on Saturday so I expect to see the place all white and full of yuppies...

You'd be great HB. You could look after the private school boys with fake proletarian accents, floppy hair and beautifully pressed combat trousers.

And what would a secondary modern boy from Kent have to tell them? I suppose I could pinch their lunch money.

In my experience Council officers are the enemy of local democracy, I have known them lie, cheat, destroy documents, attempt to bribe and black mail people in attempts to push a policy through. I will not name anyone or any council on this board for mine and Mike’s sake but I’ll tell you in a PM if you want to know

Wow. That's quite a list. Yes I would be interested.

On the consultation point, what's the statutory authority for this? Is there a single statute (e.g. some Local Government Act) or is it scattered about in various acts depending on what's being discussed, e.g. planning consultation rights in the Town & Country Planning Act, housing consultation rights in some Housing Act etc?
