Council spends £750 to beef up security after meeting protest
Burton Mail
|December 22, 2025
STAFFORDSHIRE County Council beefed up security for a cabinet meeting - days after anti-racism protestors brought a previous meeting to a halt.
Last Thursday's full council meeting had to be suspended after members of the Stafford Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (SCARF) started a chant calling for the resignation of cabinet members accused of making racist social media posts. There were also reports of items being thrown from the public gallery.
Following the incident, which ended with police officers escorting the protestors out of the chamber, the council ramped up security arrangements at County Buildings.
Ahead of the Wednesday, December 17, cabinet meeting, four security guards were posted outside the building's entrances, checking visitors' identification.
