“I sincerely apologise for the concern and distress caused by the erecting of a fence around our Fallowfield Halls of Residence today. This was not our intention – in fact quite the reverse.” Professor Nancy Rothwell. (2/4)
"The fencing was intended as a response to a number of concerns received over recent weeks from staff and students about safety and security; particularly about access by people who are not residents. There was never any intent to prevent students from entering or exiting." (3/4)
"Alternative security measures, including additional security patrols are being put in place." (4/4)
