Orange walk organisers have been given the go-ahead to play music in Alexandria earlier than usually allowed – despite concerns it will disturb elderly residents.
The Dumbarton Orange and Purple District No. 27 asked West Dunbartonshire Council if its Pride of the Rock Flute Band could play 30 minutes earlier than permitted by the local authority’s code of conduct.
The council discussed the request at a licensing committee last week. The march will take place on Saturday, July 2, with organisers saying starting the parade earlier meant they could meet up with the larger march in Glasgow later that morning on time.
