[g8-sheffield] Fw: demo wed 15th June - my reply to police

[Jillian Creasy]

Dear all
This is what I have sent to Sgt Roche ... have proposed a route that goes as close to the Winter Gardens as possible and takes in the main shopping areas (Barkers Pool, PInstone St, top of the Moor, Fargate). It does pass the Peace Gardens. I felt like suggesting we walk along the west side of Pinstone St in single file with our hands over our heads, but he might have thought I was being sarcastic.  
I hope this will encourage him to clarify what the exclusion zone is to be.
I can't believe this is happening - they won't even BE in the Winter Gardens til at least an hour later!

Thanks for this.
Devonshire Green might be a good place to start and finish but we definitely want to march into/around the centre of town. Please advise me how to propose a route which "avoids the obvious routes that you are most likely to restrict access to" when you haven't told me what these are. So far, all I know is that we can't go past the Winter Gardens and that the Peace Gardens would be "a little close for comfort". 
So ... what about Division St, Pinstone St, Furnival Gate, Arundel Gate, Norfolk St, Norfolk Row, Fargate, Barkers Pool, Division St, Devonshire Green.
Look foward to hearing from you.
Jillian

  Jillian,

  I'm afraid for the moment I dont have confirmation of the areas where Police will look to restrict processions. I know this doesnt help when planning your event, and indeed in completing the form I have given to you.

  The best guidance I can give at this time is that Devonshire Green appears to be the most suitable gathering and demonstration venue.

  In considering your procession route I would ask that you give thought to avoiding the obvious routes that we are most likely to seek to restrict access to.

  If I become aware of further police planning in this area that I can share with you then I shall contact you again via Email.

  regards
