Campaigners occupy Fenton Town Hall and invoke the 'Magna Carta'

 

REPORTS are coming in that campaigners fighting to save Fenton Town Hall for the local community have blockaded themselves into the building and invoked Article 61 of the Magna Carta.
The historic building, which was formerly the City Magistrates' Court, is currently being sold off by the Ministry of Justice.
Its doors were opened today, on Remembrance Sunday, to allow people to view the unique tiled memorial to more than 498 men of Fenton who gave their lives fighting in the Great War.
It is understood that more than 40 people are currently occupying the building.
Updates to follow.
