Fears are growing of trouble in Walsall next weekend after it was revealed that the English Defence League are to mount a demonstration in the town centre – while groups opposing the far-right group are also planning an event in the town
West Midlands Police said they were aware of the planned protest due to take place in the town centre on Saturday, 29 September, 2012.
A spokesman said: "As on previous occasions, the police have no power to ban a static protest – in fact the right to protest peacefully is a sign of a healthy democracy and West Midlands Police has a positive duty to facilitate that right."
