Hooray!! Victory for SBS

SBS protestSBS have won their battle against Ealing Council:

(From the Ealing Times) Ealing Council has conceded defeat in a landmark hearing brought by a number of women helped by Southall Black Sisters (SBS), which supports victims from ethnic minority groups.

Speaking outside the courtroom, Pragna Patel, the organisation’s chairman, said: “We feel vindicated because we feel the council has accepted that they made numerous errors”.

SBS protestI am so pleased SBS have won as they are such a grounding breaking organisation. It would have been devastating if Ealing had won.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get to the High Court today which was a shame as I would have liked to have heard the decision but I was there yesterday showing my support and solidarity.
