First Blog Post!

Hello and welcome to ALAC's blogger.com page!

Please see the about us section explaining a little about who we are as an organisation.  Brief individual Bios on each member are due to follow shortly.

Below is the link to our response to the Government's consultation paper for Legal Aid Cuts.  Following approval by the manager of Chelmsley Citizen's Advice Bureau on 14th February 2011 we were very happy that this was sent as a joint response from Chelmsley CAB and ALAC.

We are not clear right now on the exact number of responses the Government received to the consultation paper but there were many.  We are not alone and we wait with baited breath for the Government's reactions to the responses.

Further updates to come!
