Love Activists protest: Fences put up around Liverpool bank

The Love Activists have been served with eviction notices

Bailiffs have erected fences around an old bank building in central Liverpool where occupying protesters threaten to lock themselves inside the vault.

Anti-capitalism group The Love Activists were served with eviction notices earlier this week at the former Bank of England site on Castle Street.

Five people were arrested after police imposed a 48-hour dispersal zone around the building on Thursday evening.

The anti-homelessness group has been occupying the building since 1 April.

The Love Activists have set up a helpdesk for people on benefits, a clothes bank and a library.

Police say the area around the bank is a dispersal zone
