The Citizens' Advice Bureaux provide essential services to the Lancaster and Morecambe community, the need for which has only increased with the recent recession. The Bureaux provide advice on debt, housing, employment, benefits and many other issues, and frequently help prevent people getting into further difficulties with these problems. If the council cuts their funding, it will have a detrimental effect upon the entire community. This petition will be sent to all the local councillors and MPs asking them to prevent this action. The petition will be sent on 2nd March so please distribute it as widely as possible before then! Thank you for your support.

Seeing the momentum build around this cause reminds me just how vital these services are to our neighbors. It is encouraging to realize that so many people understand the importance of protecting the support systems that keep our community stable.
