Read the Joint Response of the Crown Estate Residents Committees to the Crown Estate, 25/3/2010
What Can I Do?
- write to your MP and local councillors and ask them to write to the Crown Estate opposing the sale. You can find hints and tips on what to include in letters here
- if you are a keyworker ask employers and trade union representatives for support (see model letters)
- write to the Queen and Prince Charles asking them to intervene to stop the sale
- make sure every window on your estate has a poster in it
- attend your local meetings and demos
- if you can help with newsletter/poster distribution etc, contact your local Residents' chair
