Police officers will be policing two protest assemblies and marches, a ‘British Unity Walk’ and an ‘Exeter is For Everyone’ event, in Exeter city centre on Saturday 22 November.
The Police have been engaging with organisers, local partners and businesses, to balance the right to protest, with the impact of the protests on others.
To prevent serious disruption, they have used specific powers under Sections 12 and 14 of the Public Order Act.
These set out legal conditions on organisers and participants around the routes, the length of time of any protest can take place, and the areas where respective groups must convene.
Both protest groups are expected to convene from 11am and disperse by 3.30pm.
The Exeter is for Everyone event will assemble in Bedford Square and the march will commence no later than 12.30pm, returning by 1.30pm.
The Unity March will assemble in Dix’s Field, with the march commencing at 12.30pm, returning by 3pm.
In facilitating the right to protest peacefully, they do remind everyone attending of the need to abide by these conditions, and that disorder will not be tolerated, nor will any activity that places protestors, the public, or our officers at risk.
The Police will have an increased policing presence during this time, and officers will be deployed throughout the city to reassure local residents, shoppers, businesses, and everyone who should continue to enjoy all that the city has to offer.
