A static protest is currently underway on Whitehall, opposite Downing Street, drawing the attention of both participants and Police.
Police officers have been deployed to oversee the protest, ensuring its safe conduct and prompt handling of any potential offences. As a precautionary measure, due to the substantial number of individuals gathered for the protest, the southbound carriageway from Horse Guards Avenue to Parliament Square has been temporarily closed.
The closure of the carriageway is essential to guarantee the safety of both participants in the protest and passing pedestrians. Law enforcement authorities are committed to reopening the carriageway at the earliest opportunity, ensuring minimal disruption to normal traffic flow while prioritizing public safety.
The closure underscores the dynamic nature of policing in responding to public events, balancing the right to peaceful protest with the need to maintain public order and safety. Further updates on the reopening of the carriageway will be provided as the situation develops.
