<p>The Prime Minister&#8217;s constituency was the target for protests as demonstrators campaigned against Royal Mail privatisation and the Government&#8217;s spending cuts package.</p>
<p>Around 500 people marched through the normally genteel surroundings of Witney, Oxfordshire, to protest against proposals to sell off the postal group.</p>
<p>Marchers carried placards bearing slogans such as &#8220;Cameron Out&#8221;, &#8220;Royal Mail not for sale&#8221; and &#8220;Catch the banker robbers&#8221;.</p>
<p>A six-foot coffin carrying the message: &#8220;Here lies the remains of Royal Mail and postal service in the UK&#8221; was also held aloft during the protest.</p>
<p>The demonstration, which was organised by the Communication Workers Union (CWU), lasted for around two hours and passed off peacefully, police said.</p>
<p>A spokeswoman for Thames Valley police added: &#8220;There were around 500 people at the demonstration, which was peaceful with no arrests.</p>
<p>&#8220;We had police in attendance but not a large number.&#8221;</p>
<p>The protest was prompted by the impending third reading of the Postal Services Bill, which will take place in Parliament on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The Bill includes proposals to sell off the Royal Mail.</p>
