An intrepid bunch of walkers are trekking from Iona in Scotland to London on A Pilgrimage for Peace and Economic Justice, and on Tuesday they passed through Market Deeping, on their way from Bourne to Peterborough.
They say the primary aim of the Pilgrimage is to focus attention on the Government’s intention to spend up to £100 billion renewing the UK’s Trident nuclear weapons system, while continuing to slash NHS, education and social welfare budgets.
These walkers were met by supporters in The Deepings as they passed through, and they all enjoyed a picnic on the Riverside Park opposite the Deepings Library.
The Pilgrims also showed support for the Campaign to Save Deepings Library.
