On Saturday a roving street party against the enclosure of public space for private profit was held in the city centre. A mobile sound system toured around town paying visits to banks and other corporate targets. Participants gave out hundreds of flyers protesting social control of the city centre and the human and environmental destruction of the banks. Meanwhile Notts Uncut held a protest outside Vodaphone on Clumber Street after an incident in which a ten year old boy was alleged to have been assaulted by staff. The shop was forced to close early.

Notts students have come back from their Christmas break ready for action. This time it’s the turn of students in Further Education who are angry about the Con-Dem decision to scrap the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA).

On Thursday, students walked out of their schools and colleges before marching to the Conservative Party offices in King Edward Court where they tried to get the attention of party workers. One student was arrested for criminal damage but was later released with a fixed penalty notice. Students marched to the police station to call for his release. A second protest was held on Saturday in the Market Square.
