A second Kill the Bill protest is being held in Aberystwyth this weekend.

Ceredigion Against The Policing Bill have organised a second Kill the Bill protest, which will take place at 1pm on Saturday, 17 April, as part of the second National Day of Action.

During the first protest on 3 April, hundreds of protestors gathered at the clock tower at 1pm before marching through the town and into the castle grounds, where various speakers discussed their concerns pertaining to The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.

The draft law has drawn particular controversy as it, if passed, would “allow police to criminalise anyone using civil disobedience and direct action tactics”.

While the second protest will begin at 1pm on Saturday, Ceredigion Against The Policing Bill are yet to confirm a location.

A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesperson said: “We are aware of a planned Ceredigion Against the Policing Bill protest march in Aberystwyth this Saturday. Constructive prior engagement is taking place between the organisers and the local Neighbourhood Policing Team.

“A previous peaceful protest passed without any local tensions or disorder and we anticipate the same again for this weekend.”
