Latest: March and Rally shortened route for disabled – Birmingham for the Alternative 18th Sept

At long last we have a designated shortened route for the Birmingham March against the Lib Dem Conference from the TUC.

Message from the TUC

We are very pleased to announce that we have negotiated a shortened route for the March for the Alternative in Birmingham for participants who have mobility issues.  The route takes people across Victoria Square and in front of the Birmingham Council House and rejoins the march at Colmore Row. At the beginning of the march there is also the ability for people to exit the march at the end of Berkley Street and return to the assembly point where there will be car parking available for those with disabilities.

On the map of the march route the shortcut is a red line between Hill Street and Colmore Row via Birmingham Council House.

Any other questions, please contact Gary O’Donnell at godonnell@tuc.org.uk

Disabled people who wish to be there for the static protest area designated outside the ICC please contact Gary O’Donnell  godonnell@tuc.org.uk to get a pass/badge (you need this to get there)
