I’m the local editor for the Netmums website in north Essex and would like to urge readers to take part in our Netmums Real Parenting Save Our Children’s Centre Campaign just launched.

All around the UK and here in north Essex, children’s centres are under threat of closure or having to drastically reduce services, and families in our community will suffer the consequences of these cuts.

We are offering parents in north Essex the chance to join up with other parents locally and around the country via our website at www.netmums.com.

Parents can visit the Save Our Children’s Centres Campaign online to share tips and advice, and we also have a step-by-step toolkit for worried north Essex families to take direct action locally.

Only local parents have the power to stop some of these cuts.

If our councillors don’t know we care, they will do what seems easiest.

Please help us to spread the word to north Essex families.

All they need to is to visit www.netmums.com to stand up and be counted.
