POLICE are warning the public to expect some disruption on Saturday (November 10) as protesters march in Huntingdon.
Representatives from SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty) and other animal rights activists will conduct a protest against HLS (Huntingdon Life Science)
It is the first time in four years that the county has seen such a protest and several hundred people are expected to join in.
Police have been working closely with representatives from SHAC, the town centre business community and HLS to ensure plans are in place to minimise the impact of the protest on the public and protect the safety of those involved.
The protest will begin at 11am with a gathering at the Riverside Park, followed by a march around the ring road, via the town centre.
Protesters will then return to Riverside Park before travelling in convoy to the HLS site in Woolley, with the event finishing at 5pm.
Police will maintain a visible presence throughout both stages of the event to ensure minimal disruption to traffic and those going about their daily business and to protect the safety of those involved in the protest.
