Encampment Cost
Dear Bangor University,
Earlier this year saw pro-Palestine activists set up an encampment on university grounds.
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I wish to know the cost that the encampment had on the university; be it the cost of running security on the site, the cost of resorting the quality of the damaged ground and any other costs which have been incurred.
Yours faithfully,
Thomas Wilson
