Campaigning

Does anyone know if there are any restrictions on running small campaigns on Green Lanes?

We (MVM) are planning a small stall, possibly outside the old P.O. or an empty shop in the area on Saturday.

The problem is i have not seen anyone doing anything similar. There was a protest meeting outside the P.O against it closing and I have encountered the Labour Party canvassing around the area during elections but that is it.

I understand that there are definite restrictions in Wood Green but do they apply elsewhere?

Thanks

Keith Hubbard

A number of years ago I set up a table for a spot of campaigning on the "People's Piazza" outside the Salisbury Hotel one Saturday mid-morning. It was quite successful because the space afforded conversations without blocking the pavement.

Nobody objected. If my memory is correct, I popped into the bar and informed the manager what I was doing before-hand.

Ask forgiveness, not permission. As long as you are not obnoxious I doubt anyone will care less. The point about blocking the pavement Peter makes is a good point to note.

Outside a closed shop sounds like a good plan - if you stay on the shop premises (you can usually see a change in pavement surface between the shop's land and council land) the council shouldn't tell you to move, and the owner probably won't care.
