Rushmoor Borough Council has applied for an injunction to restrict street preaching in the town centres of Aldershot and Farnborough, citing concerns over public disruption and distress caused by prolonged periods of preaching.
Legal Application and Hearing
The council’s application, filed against “persons unknown”, specifically targets individuals engaging in street preaching in these areas. A hearing is scheduled for 7 March 2025 at 10:00 AM at Aldershot & Farnham County Court to determine the outcome of the request.
As the hearing approaches, the decision could set a precedent for how public preaching is regulated in town centres across the UK. Further updates will follow after the court ruling.
