Campaigners served an eviction notice from a town hall they are trying to prevent being sold have remained in the building - and opened it to the public.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has put Fenton Town Hall in Stoke-on-Trent on the market for £500,000.

Save Fenton Town Hall action group wants the former magistrates' court to be used for exhibitions, meetings and local businesses.

The group has now started holding coffee mornings, book swaps and talks. 

Members of Save Fenton Town Hall, who describe themselves as custodians rather than protesters, have been occupying the hall round the clock since 9 November.

They were told to leave by the MoJ earlier this week, but have not done so, saying negotiations were ongoing.
