As the Tory party conference opened in Manchester, they found the city under siege from over 35,000 trades unionists and anti-cuts campaigners who had come to oppose them. The march, organised by the Trades Union Congress was the largest in Manchester for generations. LMATC, along with Lancaster and Morecambe TUC, local students and pensioners groups and others fighting back against the cuts were out in force, with a coachload and a minibus full leaving Dalton Square while many others took the train. Encouraged by meeting so many other likeminded people on the streets of Manchester, Lancaster campaigners returned determined to step up their struggle.
