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!?

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
