A parade by the Bridgeton branch of Apprentices Boys of Derry was halted due to a protest over it passing a Catholic church. Police shut London Road on Sunday.
Calls have been made to reroute loyalist marches which pass Catholic churches after police diverted a walk away from a protest on Sunday.
Following Sunday’s disruption, Cllr Anthony Carroll, Greens, said the council and Police Scotland should request marches be rerouted away from “religious establishments, in particular Catholic churches, as a standard practice”. On social media, Cllr Christina Cannon, SNP, said: “It’s my opinion that these marches should have been rerouted well before today and I’ll be advocating for that should they propose this route again.The council spokesman said: “There is a presumption in law that processions can take place, unless there is a reason to intervene — and these reasons are quite narrowly defined in the statutory framework.
After the parade, the Bridgeton branch of the Apprentice Boys of Derry said it had taken “every step required by legislation and codes of conduct to ensure the event would proceed peacefully and respectfully”.
