Future Momentum Meetings
Topics suggested for future public Momentum meetings:
Trident - National demonstration scheduled for the end of February
EU - to address the in/out referendum, Diane Jones to share material with links to
pros and cons
Local Government - to discuss possible actions on spending cuts
Regional Mayoral Election - to discuss how to influence the outcome (it was
assumed that it is inevitable that well have an elected Regional Mayor)
The preferred topic was for a meeting on the Mayoral Election and was subject to further
discussion:
Meeting could discuss what principles a Mayor would need to stand on to get our
endorsement
It was suggested the panels for the meeting could consist of Geoff Walker,
Malcolm Brain and Michael Lloyd
The meeting could culminate and in the drafting of a resolution which state Red
Labour/Momentums position
To get wider public involvement it was suggested that after the meeting the principles
discussed could form the basis of a survey (using Survey Monkey) to canvass opinion.
Meeting closed at 20:13
