Demo about Heckler & Koch weapons activities, Market Square in Nottingham

12.30pm on Thursday 22th January, people had gathered at the Council House Steps in Market Square, to protest about the activities of the gun manufacturer, Heckler & Koch. Offices of the company are based at Unit 3, Easter Park Industrial Estate on Lenton Lane, Nottingham.

Over the last year or so, people have protested at the gates of the Industrial Estate on Lenton Lane. This was the first event, held in the Market Square, in the hope of putting the issue before more members of the public.

also they we will now hold an additional monthly protest and fliering session in Market Square, every FORTH THURSDAY (at 12:30), meet by the lions on the City Council House steps.
