Marching for pensions in Torbay and the South West

The November 30 march for pension justice takes place throughout the South West

By PRSD, on Monday, November 21, 2011

The November 30 day of action and march for pensions justice will take place in Torbay and throughout the South West

On November 30, there will be a TUC Day of Action. In Torbay, that will take the form of a march from the town hall to the Princess Theatre.

The idea is to highlight the changes to pensions and to show the widespread support against such changes.

Of course it’s not just in Torbay, but the whole of the South West is getting together to show their befuddlement and annoyance against the government’s hapless and lopsided cuts (how much tax relief is given to private pensions is that again?).

Here’s a list of marches in the South West, with the ones in our South Devon stomping ground in bold. If you want to find out more, pop along to the Pensions Justice site.
