Small, yet vocal and angry, demonstration on the steps of Southwark Town Hall


Recommended Posts

Passing by on a no. 12 this evening, i noticed a banner, a loud-hailer man, some protesters and various Council security officers on the steps of our civic centre.


Can any Council workers, demonstrators or knowledgeable citizens shed some light?

Were they definitely angry? Were they 'protesters'? Could the concil security officers have been forming an audience?

Did anyone at any point here a reference to 'Winchester Cathedral'?


Because whenever I hear about a megaphone and a group of people I instantly associate it with The New Vaudeville Band.

They did seem irate; they did look as if they were protesting against something; the banner was quite large and colourful, but the '12' was moving at a fair old lick and I couldn't make out the lexis on the flag, or hear the slogans/demands from the hailer-man.


Someone must have a clue!?

    • A sharps disposal container has been left outside  our house near goose green.   If you or a friend is missing one PM me for exact address. Presumably a contractor collects a full on and delivers replacements.  Better than a keysafe you didnt order!!
    • I would like to recommend Robert Mills, he came to sort out our central heating last week.  He is punctual, clear about what needs doing and gets on with it very efficiently.  His contact details are 07952 584171.  Thanks for giving us back a warm house Robert! 
    • Thank you everyone.  Let's hope they all get cleared sometime soon. 
    • Thanks for posting this. It looks as though the proposed footprint of the event is larger than ever before, with fenced off trackway stretching down the Colyton road side, well beyond the metal fence perimeter. The schedule is now set to take up most of May and the first week of June, again one of the most beautiful times of year in the park. They are wanting to add another day, which this year will be a supported 'community' festival. But surely this is to set precedent for adding many more days in future? Be careful what you wish for; the park is up for hire by this council. Do we want it to go the same way as Brockwell, where local residents are in despair at the slow erosion of their park and the annual noise and disruption? Protecting our green, tranquil natural spaces is vital for the lungs of the city, for wildlife and the mental health of our local population.
