Campaigners plan to protest at the Athena Events Venue, Leicester, from 17:00 Jan. 3. Groups including Stand Up To Racism and Unite Against Facism will picket the Reform UK political party conference, scheduled to take place that evening. Several hundred protestors attended a related event in mid-2024; similar numbers are possible Jan. 3.
Authorities will likely deploy additional police to monitor the protest. Heightened security and pedestrian congestion may prompt localized road transport disruptions, but the event will likely pass off peacefully.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Consider taking alternative routes and modes of transport to mitigate the impact of any related disruptions. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
