PLANS for a mass lobby of Parliament over Bury's share of Government cash are being finalised.
Organisers hope to take around 1,000 people, led by the Mayor of Bury, to London on a date to be arranged within the next fortnight.
Invitations have already gone out to local schools, suggesting that ten people from each establishment come forward.
People would have to be sponsored to raise the money for the trip.
Individuals who want to join the protest should write to the Mayor, Coun Trevor Holt, at Bury town hall.
Labour councillor Sue Arnall said: "We hope people will be interested, and it would be nice if we could get 1,000 people down there.
"We're thinking big but it all depends on the response from the public."
The date will depend on the availability of Bury's MPs and Government ministers who protesters want to lobby.
