Moment Manchester council was forced to suspend town hall meeting due to protesters
Protesters interrupted a Manchester town hall meeting four times today , forcing the council leader to repeatedly pause proceedings. Members of community union Acorn were calling on the council to end their use of bailiffs.
Within minutes of the council's executive meeting starting today , one man who was sat in the public gallery stood up and shouted: "Councillors! We are from Acorn and our member is living in poverty because Manchester council is deducting so much of her wages for council tax arrears. Council leader Bev Craig told the protester that there was no opportunity for public questions and answers at the meeting and suggested that he contacts whoever he wishes to speak to afterwards by writing to them. However, the protester interrupted the meeting again moments later reiterating his point.
