Responding to news that the government has dropped plans to close rail ticket offices following overwhelming public opposition [1], Co-leader Carla Denyer said:
“This is a huge victory for people power and a massive defeat for the government's attempt to run down public services.
“Up and down the country, people have protested, signed petitions, responded to the consultation, written to their MP, written to the local paper, organised in trades unions and more. The result has been so clear and overwhelming that even this government could not ignore it.
“People can have renewed confidence that coming together on issues that really matter can produce positive change.”
