March from Liverpool Road, Manchester (M3 4FP) to a rally at Whitworth Park

CND is proud to be attending the Save our NHS, defend jobs and services, no to austerity march and rally on 29th September in Manchester.

Join us in the ‘NHS not Trident’ bloc to tell the government that Trident is a deadly and dangerous waste of money, and that those billions would be better spent on health and public services!

Look for the CND banners and supporters with blue ‘NHS Not Trident’ t-shirts and placards!

Want to book transport to Manchester? The TUC website has information on where to find coaches and trains from across Britain on the day.
