A SERIES of monthly “people’s forum” public meetings have been announced by Islington North MP Jeremy Corbyn.

The first, at the Brickworks in Crouch Hill in mid-September, has already been booked up.

Mr Corbyn said during the general election campaign public meetings would be used as a “shared, democratic space for all local residents in Islington North to discuss the issues affecting our community”. The Tribune reported last week how public assemblies will be financed with left-over cash from election campaign donations.

In the run-up to the first meeting, Corbyn supporters are organising canvassing sessions to deliver leaflets to households within the constituency “thanking them for re-electing Jeremy and inviting them to our first People’s Forum”.

The September 19 meeting will “bring together local and national campaigns, trade unions, tenants’ unions, debtors’ unions and national movements”, according to the VoteCorbyn website.
