SCT Launches Lincoln Consultation
August 2009
SCT has launched a consultation with stakeholders in Lincoln as it plans its next major project. SCT will be undertaking the Lincoln project in partnership with the local Take Part Pathfinder and with the support of Lincoln City Council.
Speaking of Free Speech
“Without free speech no search for truth is possible… no discovery of truth is useful… Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race.”
— Charles Bradlaugh, 1833-1891,
British social reformerFreedom of Expression
"Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of democratic life. It is by the free exchange of ideas among citizens about how they should live together and how they should be governed that we create and sustain the democratic society. So the rights to free association and expression are scarcely less important than the right to live in peace and free from want."
Václav Havel, playwright, former President of the Czech Republic, Founding Patron of Speakers’ Corner Trust
The Hyde Park Tradition

London’s Newest Speakers’ Corner – in Stoneydown Park, Walthamstow
