Police are putting plans in place ahead of another protest in Canterbury over accommodation being used to house young asylum seekers. It will be the second demonstration in as many months outside Connors House in Craddock Road – a former care home now used by Kent County Council to house unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.

Officers say they are liaising with organisers and will have "sufficient resources in place" to manage the event on Saturday and minimise disruption to the public. It comes after Faversham-based activist Harry Hilden announced plans for a repeat march through the city.

Hilden – who has made a series of unsavoury remarks about those at Connors House online – previously organised a similar event in September, during which he waved used toilet paper at a KMTV reporter.
