Anti-immigration march date is a step closer

Protestors are planning to march through Spalding in April to gather support for their campaign against immigration.

A provisional date of Saturday, April 20, has been given – subject to police approval.

Protest organiser Dean Everitt said campaigners wanted Spalding to be the next location for a march, following a successful demonstration in Boston in November last year.

This would be followed by a second march in Boston –as well as demonstrations in Wisbech and Lincoln – gathering support Pied Piper-style, before taking a big protest to Westminster.
