I have explained that it will be a peaceful protest but there will be speeches between noon and 2pm using a mobile PA, they didn't have any issues with that but warned me that in their experience they tend to get a few people complaining from local residences when protests are held (which is why I want to get word out to the local community in advance).

So everything with the police is very positive at the moment, I expect at the meeting we will discuss a minimal police presence to ensure there are no problems. They were encouraged by the fact that we have already discussed the protest with Barbican Security too.

Ok - ask the Police and Local Borough for permission to wrap A4 Notices (in polly pockets) around Lampposts in the area. I know its a bit of work, but I think (the borough should clarify) this will indemnify you.
