Trustworthy Data, Confidence in the Future: Stand Up For What's Right. Bexhill and Battle Independent Network PPC 2024.
On Tuesday (31st October) West Lindsey District Council will be in the High Court alongside Braintree District Council. They will be challenging the government's use of emergency legislation allowing the Home Office to impose asylum seeker accommodation centres in local areas bypassing normal planning and consultation procedures. In this video Cllr Sally Grindrod-Smith explains the situation and their experiences of the Home Office taking charge at RAF Scampton. We've heard similar problems from Wethersfield (Braintree) and have been experiencing them here with respect to Northeye (Bexhill, no decision yet). Common problems are a lack of information, no consultation, changes in plans and fundamentally...local people don't want these large camps in small communities. It is VERY CLEAR that the Home Office are not able to work with local communities. This legislation needs to end. The government and the Home Office need to sort out arrivals and processing...rather than introduce a third problem (large scale accommodation centres). We wish Braintree and West Lindsey all the best. Please show your support...or you could be next! https://lnkd.in/eTenk9fS

A Southern Community in Crisis - By Randolph B. Campbell Shop on Legacy of Texas: https://lnkd.in/g-Y8Xm-6 Historians have published countless studies of the American Civil War and following era of Reconstruction. This study differs in its focus on how ordinary people experienced the years from 1861 to 1876. With this in mind, what did secession, civil war, emancipation and Reconstruction mean at the local level in Texas? How much change did the era bring to Harrison County: a cotton-growing, planter-dominated community with the largest slave population of any county in the state?

For today's #BlackHistoryMonth fact, we are focusing on New Britain, home to one of our newest clinics, and soon to be, home to our FIRST residential clinic! So, let's talk about, The Underground Railroad... It was developed in the early 19th century, and was a system of safe havens designed to help fugitive slaves escape to freedom. In New England, numerous towns and cities provided safe havens for those escaping slavery. One of the Underground Railroad’s most vital New England routes went through what is now the city of New Britain. In the 1840s and ’50s, New Britain was an important center of anti-slavery activity. Fugitive slaves who entered the state in Stamford, New Haven, and Old Lyme worked their way through New Britain, Farmington, and Middletown on their way to Canada. Of the 22 identified Underground Railroad agents in Hartford County at this time, nine were residents of New Britain. As the two sides of the slavery issue continued sparring, The First Church in New Britain passed anti-slavery resolutions, abolitionists and non-abolitionists clashed at local anti-slavery meetings, and non-abolitionists set fire to barns belonging to New Britain abolitionists. Despite a century and a half of work, historians still struggle to put together a concise narrative of the Underground Railroad in Connecticut. The clandestine nature of the system meant that participants left behind little evidence of Underground Railroad activities. Therefore, identifying specific homes or safe houses that contributed to the movement has been exceedingly difficult. One thing that cannot be questioned, however, is that New Britain and the surrounding area played an important part in aiding fugitive slaves in their quest for freedom. #BLM

Community land trusts, or CLTs, traditionally aim for democratic control within their organization. But when a CLT grows, the “community” in question can sometimes be challenging to define. How are CLTs working at larger scales? https://bit.ly/3wSvziF #communitylandtrusts #affordablehousing #communitydevelopment
