ACC David Felton, said:
“We are aware of planned activity over the weekend and there is a proportionate policing operation in place.
“We are working closely with the local authority, other agencies and key community members, and liaising with the protest organisers to ensure the response plans prioritise the safety of all those involved.
“My message to anyone intent on causing disruption in Teesside this weekend, is that this will simply not be tolerated.
“Cleveland Police will not accept any of our communities be made to feel intimidated or fearful by the behaviour of those simply wanting to conduct mindless violence.”
