Cornered at his constituency surgery at Lancaster Library yesterday, Lancaster’s MP Eric Ollerenshaw received a letter petition from local people protesting about unfair cuts to services and jobs.
To a considerable amount of good-humoured heckling, Mr Ollerenshaw said he had a different view and that he would speak at a public meeting to put his view forward and debate the cuts.
One protester wore a chicken costume – because they didn’t think Mr Ollerenshaw would have the guts to face his constituents. Will he?
In the meantime a march and rally is being planned for Saturday 4 December, assembling in the Thurnham Street Car Park at 12 noon to march round and through Lancaster to rally in Dalton Square.
Further events are also planned.
