A planned demonstration is set to occur outside RAF Fairford tomorrow.

The event will see increased police presence as authorities facilitate the static protest between 1pm & 3pm, ensuring it remains peaceful.

Several road closures will be implemented by Gloucestershire County Council’s Highways department for safety reasons.

Disruptions are expected, and detailed information on affected roads is available on the council's website.

Police emphasise the importance of balancing the right to protest with the public's ability to go about their daily activities.

They will act against any unlawful behaviour occurring during the demonstration.

Police have been in communication with the protest organisers and various local and national partners, maintaining dialogue throughout the event.

Those with relevant information are urged to contact police via 101.
