The march was blocked from proceeding to the Town Hall to hand in a petition. The police proceeded to shove people back onto the pavements (so as to assure our own safety?). A stand off developed untill Cllr Keith Taylor came out and meet the crowd and pledged Green Party support for the campaign. After he agreed to take our petition to the council, it was off to the pub complte with our own police escort in tow.
Local people were left puzzled as to why there were so many police present, having thought there to be a shortage due to the time it takes to get them to turn up when you need them for something.
