Police have warned that there will be traffic delays caused by this afternoon’s march to Government House by the Opposition.

A police spokesman said: “The Bermuda Police Service would like to advise the motoring public that highly visible police patrols will be on hand this afternoon to provide safety and security around a scheduled 5.30pm march to Government House.

“In order to ensure the safety of participants and to minimise disruption to the motoring public, the Bermuda Police Service will put in place traffic diversions in the area of Langton Hill, Mount Hill and North Shore Road for the duration of the procession.

“Traffic delays are expected in this area and the motoring public is encouraged to consider alternative routes home during today’s peak period.

“The Bermuda Police Service also wish to advise the public that due to the bends and poor sight lines, there will be no parking on Langton Hill or on Government House grounds and so all those taking part should consider parking at St John’s Church or Bernard Park.”

Demonstrators will set off at 5.30pm from St John’s Church in Pembroke, heading up Langton Hill, for a peaceful protest at the main stairwell of Government House.

The march is to protest at the Governor’s decision not to hold a Commission of Inquiry into alleged historic land thefts.
