Video: Camden Town Hall Cuts Demo + Blockade
01.03.2011 07:24 | London
Video of the anti cuts march and demo against the cuts in Camden coinciding with the council meeting to vote through around £35 million in cuts. See protest info here.
Around 500 people marched from Mornington Crescent. Arriving at Camden Town Hall it became clear that only a few people were being allowed inside. Chanting "let us in!" the crowd surged towards the entrance but were pushed back by police. In the end only around 15 people were allowed into the public galleries (though they still managed to make their voices heard) whilst the seats for around 90 people remained empty.
Outside people made more attempts to talk or push their way inside until the crowd moved to blockade the crossroads by the town hall on Euston road for over an hour and a half.
The council passed the cuts.
