The Protest Group "UKUNCUT" have advertised a further national Day of Protest for Saturday 26th Feb against the Royal Bank of Scotland and Natwest under the title of ‘The Big Society Bail-In’. One of the advertised protest venue is the Natwest, 250 Regent Street, W1 from 12:00 Numbers not known and previous actions have shown that building occupation cannot be discounted. Premises in vicinity are to be aware and to ensure that they have adequate security measures in place to deal with such incidents. Further Updates on the Day when known

Friday 25.02.11 RBS/Natwest banks will be announcing their profits and bonuses and as a result there is likely to be action by UK Uncut, in relation to Bank bonuses and respective tax paid by them this week Friday-Saturday.

Please be aware that is anticipated that UK Uncut are going to repeat their demonstration from last week of protesting within banking establishments. Protestors are expected to be attending RBS and Natwest branches as part of a joint campaign with the recently formed US Uncut having similar events in the US. The UK Uncut are believed to be planning reoccupying bank branches and transforming them into one of the services believed under threat ‘Housing, libraries, leisure facilities, schools, bus routes, crèches, children’s breakfast clubs’ etcetera.

This morning we have had a report of 7 persons, one male dressed in a suit and bowler hat with placards congregating outside of RBS Haymarket, SW1. Local police units have reported that the group have been taking photographs of the premises. Please be vigilant reporting anything suspicious and to ensure that adequate security measures are in place to prevent incursions in premises likely to be targeted.

TUC March - 26th March 2011

February 18, 2011 12:41
 

London has recently experienced a number of protests and demonstrations in relation to the proposed implementation of cuts to public spending by the government.  These events have captured the hearts and minds of many and it is likely in the current economic climate that interest in this issue will continue for the foreseeable future. 

 

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has announced that they are holding a 'March for the Alternative' rally on Saturday 26th March 2011.  The march will assemble on Victoria Embankment between Temple Place and Blackfriars to march to Hyde Park along the following route: Embankment; Bridge Street; Whitehall; Trafalgar Square; Cockspur Street; Pall Mall; Waterloo Place; Regent Street; Piccadilly; Park Lane; Hyde Park (entering Hyde Park corner).

 

Protesters are requested to assemble from 11 am with the march moving off at midday. A planned rally in Hyde Park will start at 1.30 pm and end at 4.30 pm.

 

For more information on the proposed march and rally please view website http://marchforthealternative.org.uk

 

The majority of those intending to attend this event will be peaceful and law abiding.  There is a possibility that some groups may take the opportunity to engage in direct action and public disorder.

 

CTSET would welcome the opportunity to engage with organisations and communities who are likely to be affected by this event and discuss any issues and concerns.  We hope that by working together we may prevent or minimise any tensions arising from this march.

A policing plan is in operation for the duration of this event which is resourced by the public order branch.

On the day please have a robust security operation in place for your premises and report any suspicious behaviour or groups to  Police.

Community Safe will be used regularly before and during the event to provide updates.
