Occupy Birmingham vacates Victoria Square

Around the 27th October, occupiers were handed a notice to vacate the Victoria Square site by Council officials. Birmingham City Council claimed they were preventing members of the public using and enjoying the square. They also claimed their presence would adversely impact on the switching on of the Christmas lights and the German Market. See  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/10/487554.html

Occupy Birmingham has moved just before the Council's imposed deadline from Victoria Square to a site behind Birmingham's Repertory Theatre car park.

Their new website states:
