The date two women will stand trial accused of throwing pink paint at two different council buildings in Norwich is due to be agreed later this month.
Gabriella Ditton, 30, and Nicola Stickells, 54, have both denied two counts of criminal damage after pink paint was thrown inside County Hall and then on the bronze doors at City Hall in Norwich.
The incidents, which happened after 3pm on February 15, 2021, were part of a nationwide ‘Burning Pink’ protest, in response to perceived inaction of councils to tackle climate change.
Ditton, of Silver Road, Norwich, and Stickells, of High Road, Needham, near Harleston, have both pleaded not guilty to two counts of criminal damage.
The case was at Norwich Crown Court last week for a pre-trial review but a further mention and fix hearing - when the trial date will be set - is due to take place on August 23.
