I offer the Cambridge example below for your readers' consideration and could supply similar from Manchester City Council and Bristol Labour Group.
"Cambridge City Council notes that the government white paper 'Strong Local Leadership' calls on councils to 'stand up and speak out for all local people'. The Deputy Prime Minister has said that local authorities must 'allow local communities to articulate their aspirations, needs and priorities'.
It notes the widespread concern among citizens of Cambridge about the government's policy towards Iraq. The council records the local communities' profound disquiet about the Government's failure to rule out military action against Iraq without the approbation of the United Nations and regardless of international law."
The citizens of Swindon await a statement from SBC on the proposed Iraq war.
While thinking and waiting, try the website that says it all: stopwar.org.uk
