We are aware of a planned march and protest in Canterbury this Saturday (20 September), along with a counter demonstration. The proposed route begins at Westgate Towers from 10am and will proceed through the High Street, Broad Street and Military Road. As with any protest, this is likely to cause some traffic disruption in and around the city centre, so please plan ahead.
Lawful protests, marches and demonstrations play a powerful part in democracy, but we know they can be concerning. We have a clear commitment to a diverse and inclusive culture and are proud to have a welcoming environment for all. We want to reassure you of the support available to everyone at the University.
