SOAPBOX - Have Your Say!
On the Number 10 Downing Street website there is a petition that aims to
stop the Chancellor using Arts and Heritage Lottery money to plug the
funding gap in the 2012 Olympics. The Chancellor proposes to plug the
funding gap with a 35% reduction in Grants in Arts funding and
reallocate the money to the Olympics. Please submit your name to the
petition and oppose the cuts to Arts Grants.

would make it into the top five most popular petitions on the site!
