UK: Activists plan to rally in Glasgow Nov. 4 over rising energy costs
Activists plan to rally in Glasgow, UK, from 16:00 Nov. 4 over rising energy costs. Heightened security likely.
Activists plan to rally in Glasgow Nov. 4 over rising energy costs. Participants plan to gather at George Square from 16:00 before marching to the nearby Ofgem office. Hundreds of people could participate in the action; reports suggest several members of the Scottish parliament will join the event.
Heightened security is likely around the gathering sites and march route. Localized business and transport disruptions may occur, especially if activists attempt to block roads or launch go-slow actions. Isolated skirmishes between police and protesters are possible.
Avoid the rally as a precaution. Seek alternative routes and allow additional time to reach destinations in central Glasgow through at least late Nov. 4.
