UK Uncut, the anti-cuts direct action group, will take over 15 retailers and banks on Oxford Street, London’s busiest shopping street, tomorrow, the day of a massive demonstration highlighting alternatives to the government’s cuts programme.

* 2pm – 15 UK Uncut groups from across the country will target banks and shops on Oxford Street
* 3.30pm – Meet at Oxford Circus to go to secret target – and aim to stay for as long as possible
* Sam West, Josie Long, Mark Thomas and musicians will perform on OxfoStreeat the secret target

Activists from UK Uncut will be meeting at 11.30 at the National Threatre to form a bloc on the march where hundreds of their supporters who have taken action in cities and towns across the country will come together for the first time.

From 2pm, activists from UK Uncut plan to turn at least 15 banks and tax-dodging stores on Oxford Street into hospitals, libraries, theatres and homeless shelters to point out that these services could be saved by clamping down on tax avoidance and making banks pay for the crisis that they caused. Targets includetax-dodging retailers Vodafone, Boots, Tesco, Topshop and Dorothy Perkins and banks RBS, Lloyds, Natwest and Barclays.

The protesters say that in addition, a secret target will be revealed on the day of the march, with regional groups expected to come together for a mass occupation. They are meeting at 3.30pm at Oxford Circus where the group will move to the new target which is a closely guarded secret.

The activists say that they will aim to stay for as long as possible. A comedy gig and arts performance will be held at BHS on Oxford Street with Sam and Timothy West and the comedy gig will meet at Soho Square.

The secret target will not be revealed until tomorrow.
