Cannabis rally gets go-ahead from GLA May 10 2005

 
South London Press
 
PRO-CANNABIS campaigners banned from holding a festival in South London will rally in Trafalgar Square.

Thousands of people are expected to join the demonstration in central London, calling for the drug to be legalised.

Organisers were forced to look elsewhere in February when Lambeth council refused them permission to host the seventh Cannabis March and Festival in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill - alleging drug dealing had taken place at last year's event.

But the Greater London Authority (GLA) has allowed the march and rally to go ahead on Sunday.

Organiser Shane Collins said: "I am pleased the march is going ahead in such a high-profile spot but disappointed that Lambeth is to lose out."

The march will begin in Russell Square at 1pm and continue to Trafalgar Square, where speakers will lead the rally from 3pm to 7pm.
