Fire crews use aerial platform to reach loose pigeon netting on Eastgate Street in Gloucester
Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service crews worked from an aerial platform on Eastgate Street in Gloucester on the evening of Wednesday 14 October 2026 to reach a length of pigeon netting hanging loose from a concrete building above the pavement. Pictures taken between 5.17pm and 5.28pm show two firefighters in the cage of a Bronto Skylift F32 RL working at first-floor level alongside the building's window line, with a separate frame showing the netting hanging free from the underside of the concrete overhang. A second appliance stands in the pedestrianised street behind barrier tape, with an incident commander watching the lift from the ground. The contributor says the loose strip had raised concerns for the safety of people passing below, that it was removed by crews, and that passers-by stopped to watch the response.
Villagers rally with Battle for Britain placards at Leverington asylum protest
Crowds gathered in the village of Leverington on 11 October 2026 for a protest against plans the contributor says would house asylum seekers there. Demonstrators filled the grass and roadway outside a brick building on the edge of the village, carrying Union flags and placards reading "Leverington: Battle for Britain 2026" and "Leverington: Don't destroy our village". A Welsh dragon flag and a flag bearing a lion were flown above the crowd, and a television camera on a tripod was set up among those gathered. A tractor joined the protest along the main road, a placard fixed to its rear window, while a van parked nearby carried a Union flag draped across its back doors. Further frames show the village street itself, with demonstrators walking between parked cars past houses and a 30mph sign.
