Public Processions
Public processions, marches and parades require to be licensed by the local authority in which they are to be held. South Ayrshire Council staff work closely with Strathclyde Police, to ensure that any such events in South Ayrshire are organised in a safe manner and cause minimal disruption and inconvenience.
Following a review by the Scottish Government, the rules governing public processions, marches and parades have been changed and organisers of public processions, marches and parades must give the relevant Council at least 28 days notice of an intention to hold a public procession rather than the previous 7 days.
To ensure that communities are aware of public processions, marches and parades in their area, the Licensing Section will publish details of all applications on South Ayrshire Council’s website. These details are also forwarded to a range of other organisations.
Most public processions, marches and parades held within South Ayrshire are traditional, annual events that usually pass without incident. Anyone who would like to comment on a parade which is planned in their local area should do so in writing at least two weeks before the public procession is due to take place to, Licensing, South Ayrshire Council, 29 New Bridge Street, Ayr, KA7 1JX. Licensing.
Council Licensing staff can be contacted on other licensing related issues by e-mailing Licensing@south-ayrshire.gov.uk or by telephoning 01292 617687.
