The assembly is an opportunity for local Merton party political leaders and the member organisations of Merton Citizens to come together and consider the selected priority issues, which concern housing, welcoming migrants and refugees, mental health, and the living wage. Members of Merton Citizens will present the issues that emerged from the listening. Local party leaders will then have the opportunity to respond and commit themselves to action. The Leader of Merton Council, Cllr Mark Allison, and other major party representatives will be present.<\/p>\n
This is a valuable opportunity for the member institutions of Merton Citizens to show their power, but that depends on achieving a large turnout from all those institutions. Please do come along if you can.<\/p>\n
