Palestinian Solidarity Campaign March Saturday 24th November 2012 Information for BusinessesNovember 23, 2012 16:59Palestinian Solidarity Campaign March Saturday 24th November 2012 Information for Businesses
The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign has announced that they are holding a march and rally on Saturday 24th November 2012. The march will assemble outside Downing Street and continue along the following route: Whitehall, Pall Mall, St James’s Street, Piccadilly, Kensington Road, Kensington Gore, finishing near the Israeli Embassy, where a planned rally will take place.
Participants are requested to assemble from 12 noon with the march moving off at 12:45pm.
It is anticipated that this event may attract interest from a variety of groups and communities representing pro Palestinian interests. The march participants intend to be law abiding. There is a possibility that this event may attract counter demonstrations which may result in low-key disruption.
This event is likely to attract significant enough numbers that could lead to some travel disruption, which could impact on business interests including your own organisation. There are no road closures although businesses are advised that short term temporary traffic holdups will take effect as the march moves along the route.
The Metropolitan Police Service is fully aware of the potential impact of any marches on the local business community. We have an appropriate and proportionate policing plan in place and are working closely with the organisors to ensure that the march moves through London peacefully and that any disruption is kept to a minimum. Whilst a policing plan is in place you can help your business by taking a few sensible precautions. The following points are a list of considerations and are by no means exhaustive.
1. Retail premises should be suitably staffed with a prominent management presence 2. Security officers should have a visible presence at premises 3. Ensure that all members of staff are fully aware of any emergency/evacuation procedures 4. Ensure CCTV coverage is fully operational 5. Ensure that your exit doors are properly secured and that you are able to lock and secure your front door if required to do so 6. During the days leading up to the 24th of November, make sure that your staff are fully briefed, remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to security and/or police 7. If you wish to contact your local police dial 101 8. In the event of an emergency, call the emergency number 999 9. If you have any information you wish to provide to police anonymously you can contact the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111
The Metropolitan Police Service is committed to ensuring that this is a peaceful demonstration for all who are living in, working in, or visiting London and that it causes the minimum amount of disruption to residents, businesses and the wider public.
