A message from your ward councillor Paul McGlone about the ‘Move Your Money’ campaign


Much interest is being generated by the ‘Move Your Money’ campaigning group (www.moveyourmoney.org.uk)
to influence individuals as well as public sector banking choices



 ‘Move Your Money UK’ launched in February 2012 in order to help transform widespread public anger with the big banks into active support for ethical and mutual banking sector in the UK. The Move Your Money campaign is now seeking to encourage institutions to move their money out of the four largest high street banks, with a focus on the role of local authorities. A local campaign and petition is active (http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/lambeth-council-move-your-money-moveyourmoney) and ‘MYM’ representatives have recently contributed to discussions held at Finance Scrutiny Sub Committee on the future of Lambeth Council’s banking services.
