'Complete disregard' as slide at Nottingham's Christmas market placed near city focal point

Nottingham campaigners say there has been 'complete disregard' for the city's famous speakers' corner - after a slide was placed in the area. The slide, which is part of the city's Winter Wonderland and Christmas market, has been installed at speakers' corner, located at the junction of King Street and Queen Street by the Brian Clough statue.

Speakers' corner is an area where open-air public speaking, debate and discussion are allowed. Open Nottingham is a group which helps the public in the organisation and running of protests and demonstrations across the city.

Chris Tregenza, a member of Open Nottingham, said he was concerned about the placement of the slide at speakers' corner. "There has been a complete disregard for the purpose of the area," he said.
