MORE than 1000 people have signed a petition calling for a loyalist march set to take place in the Highlands to be halted.
One person asked, “what on earth are you thinking” while another said it was “time to stop this bigotry and sectarianism in the Highlands”.
A Highland Council spokeswoman said: “The notification process for the parade was dealt with according to the requirements of the Civic Government Act 1982 and our scheme of delegation. A Police Scotland spokesperson meanwhile said: “We are aware of the planned march in Inverness on Saturday, April 20 2024.“Our policing operation will be proportionate and focused on public safety, as well as working closely with partners to reduce disruption to the wider community.”
“The people who describe the parade as a hate march really need to reflect on their own level of respect for other cultures and traditions.
