AROUND 8,000 people are expected to take part in an Orange Walk this weekend.
The County Grand Lodge of Central Scotland annual Boyne celebrations takes place on Saturday, July 9, in Holytown, North Lanarkshire.
Several roads are set to close.
Between 8am and 6pm, there will be no waiting or loading restrictions in place on both sides of Dornoch Road, between Myrtle Drive and Sunnyside Crescent, and High Street, Newarthill, between Caledonia Drive and Mosshall Street.
The parade, which starts at 1pm, will follow a route from Dornoch Road, along Sunnyside Crescent, St Andrews Street, Main Street, Stevenston Street, Clydesdale Street, Carfin Street and Carfin/Holytown Link Road to the junction with Loanhead Road.
It will then split, with a number turning left onto Loanhead Road then Quarry Street and the majority continuing on the A723 and along Jerviston Street, New Stevenston towards Torrance Park.
The mentioned roads above will be shut to traffic, and this will be managed by Police Scotland.
North Lanarkshire Council say it is anticipated the parade route will take around one hour and 20 minutes to reach Torrance Park, and the same length of time to pass any given point along the route.
Therefore, residents and businesses are advised that access from junctions and driveways onto the parade route will not be possible for between 60 and 80 minutes as the parade passes.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
