What's the situation Lithgow?
Scott Lithgow faces 4,300 redundancies. Next week they will start laying off 1000 workers.

La march Hyde Park to the Festival Hall, followed by a rally, a deputation to the Department of the Environment, and a lobby of Parliament. The march leaves at 12, and child-care is provided at the Festival Hall from 10 to 6 (excluding lunch).
London Transport workers are lobbying Parliament on January 17. They have been asked to support the march on the 24th, but it is unlikely that LT will be on strike that day. They have been asked by the Democracy for London Campaign to ensure that buses and tubes are running so that people can get to Hyde Park and home again.
