VIDEO has emerged of anti-bedroom tax campaigners protesting at a Bolton Council meeting on Wednesday evening.   

The group of about 40 people - from Bolton Against Bedroom Tax - chanted in the makeshift chamber at Bolton Library lecture theatre.

Council officers were forced to move members into the nearby Octagon to continue the 7pm meeting. 

The delayed meeting eventually resumed at about 7.40pm, with some protestors chained together in the library, with security staff and police officers tasked with calming the situation.

The controversial bedroom tax sees councils limit people's housing benefit claim if it decides they have 'spare' bedrooms.

Police said the protesters moved on after the meeting and no arrests were made.
