Disruption to traffic expected in Co Derry town as planned protest and parade to take place
The rally has been organised by NIPSA (Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance), who will stand with trade unions and community organisations for peace and inclusion
Members of the public are advised to anticipate some disruption to traffic in Coleraine tomorrow (Saturday, April 4) due to a planned protest and parade in the Diamond at 2pm.
A parade is then due to commence at 3.45pm to Bridge Street, Circular Road, Old Bridge, Waterside, Killlowen Street, Old Bridge, Circular Road Millburn Road, Union Street and then Railway Place.
The rally has been organised by NIPSA (Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance), who will stand with trade unions and community organisations for peace and inclusion.
Speaking ahead of the rally, NIPSA Deputy General Secretary Patrick Mulholland said: “As a result of cuts to services, people are being left without the basics - secure housing, stable jobs and properly funded public services. Communities are under pressure and they need support, not division.”
NIPSA emphasised that the real challenges facing workers are being felt in everyday life: “When families can’t access the housing, healthcare or services they need, frustration grows. The answer is investment, fairness and decent public services, not turning communities against one another.”
