Environmental activists to stage demonstrations in London and Belfast, UK, Nov. 3. Heightened security, likely localized disruptions.
Environmental activists plan to stage demonstrations in London and Belfast, Nov. 3. Campaign groups will demand increased investments in water quality and denounce excessive dumping of sewage in rivers. The major demonstrations will be:
London: Campaign groups, including River Action, March for Clean Water, Greenpeace, Extinction Rebellion, and Surfers Against Sewage, will gather on Albert Embankment at 11:00, then march to Downing Street.
Belfast: Groups led by March for Clean Water and Save Lough Neagh will meet at Writer's Square from 14:00 and march to City Hall.
The protests are likely to attract several hundred to a few thousand participants. Further smaller events are possible across the UK.
Authorities will probably monitor the gatherings as a precaution. Localized transport disruptions are possible in the vicinity of the marches, but the events will likely pass off peacefully.
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Plan accordingly for possible localized transport disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
