We authorise public demonstrations, marches and parades in Dumfries and Galloway. We work closely with Police Scotland to ensure that these events are organised in a safe manner and cause minimal disruption or inconvenience.
How to apply
Read the code of conduct for public processions, complete the application form and send it to the address at the end of the form.
We must receive your completed application form at least 28 days before the date of your planned event.
If your proposed event involves any animals or vehicles, you must also send a completed risk assessment form.
After you apply
We may invite you to a meeting to discuss your application and any necessary risk assessment.
We publicise details of all public processions and decisions made on the notifications in a register. You can use our online database to see applications that are awaiting approval and those that have already been approved or prohibited.
