Proposed Public Processions

Details of proposed processions intimated to the Council can be viewed below.

Any person or organisation who wishes to bring to the attention of the Council any information relevant to the Council’s consideration of any individual notification should do so, in writing, to reach the Council’s Head of Legal and Democratic Services not later than 14 days prior to the date of the proposed processions.

INVERCLYDE COUNCIL

PROPOSED PUBLIC PROCESSIONS 2025

Anyone who would like to make a representation in relation to a parade which is planned in their local area should do so in writing by the date noted. Please refer comments to the Head of Legal, Democratic, Digital and Customer Services, Inverclyde Council, Municipal Buildings, Greenock, PA15 1LX.

Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights sets out the ‘right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association’. This means people have a right to hold marches. However, it is not an absolute right and we can place restrictions on it if necessary. As a result, we are letting members of the public know about the organiser’s intention to hold the procession so that you can consider how the procession might affect you and how you might need to plan and work around it. If you do make a representation, we may include it in papers the General Purposes Board may consider. This means that your identity and those of any other people making a representation will become public.

We may invite those making a representation to any meeting we might have with the organiser and the police to discuss this notification. If the procession is to go ahead (with or without conditions), we may also hold a meeting with the organiser and the police after the procession is held to go over any other issues. We may also want to invite you to come to the General Purposes Board’s meeting. We will write to you again to let you know if we will be inviting you to come to any of these meetings.
