Local Liberal Democrats support the campaign

Local Liberal Democrats, including Baroness Sarah Ludford MEP, have voiced their support for the campaign to Save the State.

In their 'Focus' leaflet, delivered to local residents, they pledge to "support the campaign to protect the historic Kilburn State building, including the amazing internal architecture and the unique Wurlitzer organ, which is still in working condition". They also encourage residents to write to Brent Council (chris.walker@brent.gov.uk) "urging them to ensure that the Grade II listing is preserved and that the wurlitzer is maintained in working order whilst the building is closed and empty"; and also to write to the Kilburn Times "to raise the profile of the campaign to save this building" (times.letters@archant.co.uk).

Note that the Liberal Democrats, in coalition with the Conservatives, are currently in power in Brent, and are thus best placed to act to Save the State.
