Peaceful Peterborough Motion
On 18th September 2025, PTUC passed the following emergency motion:
“In response to the rise of anti-asylum seeker rhetoric and the racist and nationalist action across the country and our own city, it is time again to take a stand against the far-right to stem the spread of its hatred.
“PTUC commits to support the local counter-protests against the “Peterborough Patriots”, who have been meeting weekly outside the Dragonfly Hotel to protest against asylum seekers being housed in our city .
“We will share details of the counter-protests and associated peace events using our emails, social media and meetings, and send delegates as often as is practicable with our banner.
“We will work with other groups and agencies whose ideals align with ours on this matter, including ‘Stand Up To Racism Cambridgeshire’ and charities working with the refugees; to oppose racism and hate in our city, and show solidarity with the asylum seekers who are being scapegoated for the issues and ills in our society.”
You can find out more about our local counter-protests on the ‘Events’ page.
Please get in touch if you are interested in being part of the planning groups for the counter-protests and peace events in Peterborough.
