    COMMUNITY-LANGUAGE NEWSPAPERS ARE

    NO BARRIER TO LEARNING ENGLISH!


    Petition to keep our community-language newspapers in Newham’s libraries

    We the undersigned wish to voice our concern about and objection to the decision
    taken by the London Borough of Newham to remove community-language
    newspapers from the borough's libraries.
    This new policy has been introduced under the guise of reducing barriers to learning English that
    mother-tongue newspapers and books are supposedly responsible for creating and maintaining.
    We totally disagree with both the decision and the assumptions that it is based upon. We call upon
    Newham council to:
     Reinstate community-language newspapers in Newham's libraries.
     Prioritise funding and further resources to provision of English as a Second
    Language (ESOL).
     To commit to the continued provision of community-language books and audio
    books in Newham's libraries.
     To recognise and celebrate the unique diversity of the London Borough of Newham
    includes recognition of the languages and cultures of its individual communities
