Derry City and Strabane District Council have dismissed reports that this year's Halloween carnival parade might be 'in jeopardy'.
Reports emerged on Thursday morning that the parade, which is set to return following a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19, could be at risk to notice from the Parades’ Commission of a proposed protest against the event.
Notice has been formally requested to the Parades' Commission by a group called United Christian Witness for a protest on October 31 from 6pm to 9pm.
