Public processions

Public processions, marches and parades are all licensed by the local authorities who work closely with Central Scotland Police to ensure that these events are organised in a safe manner and cause minimal disruption and inconvenience.

From 1st April 2007, following a review by the Scottish Executive, the rules governing public processions, marches and parades have changed.  From this date, organisers of public processions, marches and parades must give the Council at least 28 days notice of an intention to hold a public procession rather than the existing 7 days.

To ensure that communities are aware of public processions, marches and parades in their area, the Licensing Section will publish details of all applications for public processions, marches and parades on the Falkirk Council web site.  Details of public processions applied for after the 1st April 2007, can be viewed below.

Most public processions, marches and parades held in the Falkirk area are traditional, annual events which usually pass without incident.  If, however, you wish to comment on a parade which is planned in your area, you can do so in writing to the address shown on this page at least two weeks before the public procession is due to take place.
