Kill the Bill protestors pasted posters on MP Siobhan Baillie’s constituency office in Stroud today in a further show of defiance against the proposed new policing bill.

The legislation would give officers greater powers to control protests – including if they are too noisy or cause ‘serious annoyance’.

Posters were also stuck on Stroud’s iconic Four Clocks today.
