At least 100 right-wing demonstrators are expected to descend on the town this weekend as well as counter protests.

The Chief Constable has imposed conditions on both marches in order to prevent serious disruption to the community of Dover, after previous demonstrations saw violent clashes in the town.

The right-wing march will start at Dover Priory railway station at 4pm on both days.

The group will then travel left into Folkestone Road, right at the roundabout onto York Street, left into Queen Street, right into Fishmonger’s Lane and then immediately right following the route through the underpass.

They will walk directly across the pedestrian walkway onto Marine Parade promenade, turning left and continuing to the end opposite the Eastern Docks roundabout where speeches will take place.

The march will then return to Dover Priory along the same route.

Left-wing protestors will assemble at a designated area on Marine Parade – north of the A20 Townwall Street – between 2pm and 7pm on both days.

Deputy Chief Constable Paul Brandon said: “From previous experience we know that such demonstrations have the potential to cause serious disruption to the community of Dover, and it is highly probable there will be disruption again.

“However, groups cannot be prevented from entering Dover or demonstrating so long as the demonstration is peaceful and legitimate.

“The town and surrounding roads will be busier than usual given it is a Bank Holiday weekend, and without certain restrictions on the time and locations of the planned demonstrations we believe there would be an unacceptably high risk of serious disruption to the general public, businesses, visitors and those travelling in and around Dover.

“The restrictions will make the environment safer for both sets of demonstrators in addition to members of the public and police officers.

“It is important to stress that there will still be some disruption in the town, which even with all the best plans in place cannot be avoided.

"However, we hope to enable members of the community to go about their daily routines as much as possible.”

At least 100 right-wing demonstrators are expected to attend across the weekend, but it is not yet clear how many left-wing counter-demonstrators are intent on visiting.

According to a blog site on the Kent Anti Racism Network website, the right-wing protestors are hosting a Nazi Blood and Honour event under the guise of a Rock Against Immigration gig.

It states: “If we want fewer Nazis in Dover on the 28 May, then we have to ensure that the gig doesn’t go ahead.”

They claim all four bands on the bill for Dover are White Power bands including Redneck 28, Section 88, Gentleman Thugs and March or Die. The location of this gig is still unknown.

Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott said: “The operational decisions taken by Kent Police aim to keep Dover moving, protect the public and facilitate freedom of speech and I have met with chief officers to discuss and scrutinise the proposals for this weekend.

“In the long-term, we need to look at modernising the legislation governing this issue, which is 30 years old, and update it to address the challenges we face here in Kent.

“People intent on causing disorder are not welcome in this county and as Kent Police has shown previously; they will relentlessly pursue those who commit criminal acts.”
