Newcastle To Newbury

Early in the morning on Friday 10th January a group of local people arrived at the offices of Mott MacDonald in Newcastle. Pretending to be delivery people they gained entry and decorated the office with ten strategically placed Christmas trees. As well as this they then proceeded to help them with their badly organised filing system, rearranging the files in a more appropriate way. Some people held in depth discussions with the managers whilst others locked on in the office. Two police turned up but seemed uninterested and left without arresting anyone. After two hours they were asked to leave but people preferred to stay for a while longer having more of a look through files and talking with employees.
