Dozens of people are marching in protest of the closure of a popular leisure centre.
Protesters will meet at John Carroll Leisure Centre at 11am and march on to the Forest where they will join the Trade Union Council s May Day rally for 12noon.
Daniel Thomas, the lead organiser of the Save John Carroll Campaign, previously told Nottinghamshire Live: We are absolutely devastated, but we have not finished fighting and our feeling is that we have just started.
A small gathering of campaigners took part. The socially-distanced event – beside the memorial garden in Town Hall Square – was organised by Keighley Trades Union Council, in conjunction with the town council. Keighley’s town chaplain, the Rev Dr Jonathan Pritchard, officiated and opened proceedings with a number of readings. He called for “courage and perseverance” to succeed in the struggle for social justice, not just in the UK but globally. The Rev Pritchard also made reference to the “five bad words” – ‘health and safety gone mad’ – emphasising how ill-thought-out the phrase was. His message was supported by Janet Morgan, of the Trades Union Council.
