What do we want to know?: Public processions, parades and marches are an important form of celebration, commemoration, remembrance or as a call for action and change.
In 2018, there were 318 processions in Glasgow, ranging from small regular processions, to those that cross through the city centre with significant numbers reflecting both years of tradition, and the city’s response to current issues in society, for example in relation to the Climate Emergency and PRIDE.
The Council has developed a Policy and Code of Conduct on Public Processions providing information on the procedure for dealing with a procession notification as well the obligations placed on the organiser of the procession. The current Policy and Code of Conduct on Public Processions can be found here.
In September this year, the Council announced its intention to carry out a review of the Policy and the Code of Conduct. The review will also consider whether the current requirements properly balance the rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression with the legitimate rights of local residents and businesses to go about their daily lives.
The outcomes and recommendations from the review will be reported back for consideration in early 2020. The Council is looking to gather the views and opinion of individuals, groups and businesses from across the city.
The closing date for responses is Monday 23rd December 2019.
