Hundreds of people gathered outside Lambeth Town Hall in Brixton Square to protest
the Council Meeting which planned to meet to make the decision about the cuts.

When the meeting started, people entered the building. Security and police tried to
limit the number of people, only allowing a few poeple to get to the gallery, but people
pushed their way in. When the gallery was packed, people demanded the rest of the public
to be allowed to enter and kept the council meeting from starting. After several
helpless attempts by the mayor to control the situation, the councillors and the mayor
gave up and left the council chamber, and about 150 more people managed to enter and occupy
the Town Hall.

The occupiers then held a public meeting about organising against the cuts in the council chamber, with many speakers from different groups and initiatives.
