waking up

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 22:58:49 +0000

hello to anybody out there-it is a shame this set-up does not allow for easy inter-change of view.Did not feel like making an entry on the Napo Forums today as current discussions there seem way off the point to me;time to "wake up and smell the coffee" as it were;the Prob Service is drifting off on an iceberg to tropical waters with a percentage of n'er-do-wells who are drilling into the ice-ie:things ain't looking rosy and we need to plug some holes.The Exec is planning a local campaign and will be looking for branch support.If we want our jobs we need to get focussed and build up support from all and sundry as we ain't going pull off these needed changes to the NOMS bill etc on our own.Please pass on ideas and news of action taken to any of the Exec-the following may be easiest to get hold of:
Fariha Quraishi-Lanc
Ray Smith-Burnley
Eve Chester-Preston
Cheers-Eve

trip to London

Sun, 03 Dec 2006 20:03:07 +0000

went to London on Wed 29th Nov to represent Lancs at the Stop the Bill lobby-an exhilerating day! Will try to condense copious notes made from heart-warming speeches-in essence-hold our MPs to account and get in touch with them to inform of the direconsequences for Crim Justice if it goes through as it stands.Am trying to get photo added but its currently telling me my file is 2 large!!(the photo IS Big Ben after all!)Very sorry-have just learnt that in error I've deleted said picture AND several I took of Morecambe office AND Avenham to illustrate cramped office conditions.IT is not really my forte,,,will have to try again.

keep on reading!

we now have a Branch digital camera as well as assorted disposible cameras which I am passing out to offices as I do H+S tours.Please use the disposibles if there is an accident at your office and you want to record details/evidence.So far we have one at Burnley with Ray Smith;one at Lancaster with Roger Frankland;one at Blackburn with Helen Canning and one at Avenham St with me,Eve.I will be getting some more and sharing them out! In the meantime I will try putting the pictues from the digital on here of egs of problem situations across the County once I've got the hang of the tech involved!

Lancashire Branch now has a banner which made its first public appearance at the Pulic Sector Unions Rally held in London on 27 June. Indeed the banner currently features as the background to one of NAPO website's photos of the event.

Lancs response to Restructuring

Sat, 01 Apr 2006 14:45:56 +0000

have not managed to plough my way through the whole Response to Responses document but have looked at the contributors page and,being struck by the frequent ref to Lancs,did some sums.There were 44 individual replies from Lancs branch staff in addition to the overall Branch response letter done by Fariha.Out of the 232 individual responses made across the country to the Charles Clarke document on our potential future,19% came from us!!If every one of the 42 Prob Napo Branches had sent in 44 Branch members replies like us,there'd have been 1,848 individual replies not 232. No one can say we don't care and don't play our part! As always now it's a case of "lets keep plugging away" Cheers,Eve
