Advice for visitors to the city centre this weekend

Merseyside Police can confirm there is a planned protest by Extinction Rebellion in Liverpool city centre on Saturday, 31 August.

The force has been liaising with the protest organisers and contingency plans are in place to ensure we are able to deal effectively and efficiently with every eventuality to ensure that residents and visitors to the city can carry on with their normal business.

There are a number of events in the city centre at the weekend and we would advise members of the public who are coming in to Liverpool on Saturday to plan ahead and given themselves plenty of time to get in and home.
