Occupy protesters leave the green

The previous camp

The Occupy Exeter protesters have left the cathedral green and moved into disused offices.

They are thought to have set up in the former Michelmores office above Castle Galleries.

The Cathedral had requested they leave following anti-social behaviour.

Their full statement -

"As of Saturday evening, 4th February 2012, Occupy Exeter is leaving Cathedral Green. There are a number of reasons for this decision which we will issue a press release to explain in due course. We will continue to dismantle the campsite over the next few days and will appreciate any help with taking down tents, talking to people about moving on, hot tea making and taking recycling and rubbish. While the physical camp is relocating & progressing, the movement remains very strong with a large group of dedicated activists and a thriving online community."
