Protestors start to gather at the county council site
More than a hundred people set up tents outside a county council's offices in protest at the closure of two outdoor education centres.

Worcestershire County Council is proposing to close the centres in Malvern and Llanrug in Wales.

Mike Foster, Labour MP for Worcester, said the gathering showed the strength of feeling against the closures.

The authority has said it is looking at ways of finding commercial money to keep the centres open.
