BBC News - Report on the protest today

Parents protest at Ramsgate children's home plan

"Parents have held a demonstration against plans to turn offices in Kent into a residential children's home for up to six boys aged between 11 and 18.

They fear Satis House in Elms Avenue, Ramsgate, will be used to house young sex offenders and violent criminals.

Thanks to all attended today and for giving your time. Best regards EARA.
