The 'Peoples March to Defend the Welfare State' left Bury today and will pass through Burnley, Accrington and Blackburn and on to Preston, before ending in a Rally in Blackpool - where the Tory Party Conference is being held - on Thursday.
There will be a public meeting in Blackburn tomorrow at Audley Community Centre at 7.30pm, where speakers will include Terry Savage from USDAW and Cath Rudderforth, a TGWU district official.
The March is due to pass Intack traffic lights at about 3.45pm and there will be a welcoming rally at Blakey Moor Square, Blackburn College, at 4.30pm.
