The plan is for more localised parades with members parading close to their homes, before a return to a more normal Twelfth in 2022.  So far for the Twelfth, there have been 34 applications to the Parades Commission for marches, and the details can be found here.  Alistair Bushe Editor Want total access to all of our online content?
