On Monday evening, police asked the public to avoid the Sandy Row/Donegall Road area

After the protest outside the city hall on Saturday, some anti-immigration protesters attempted to march to the Belfast Islamic Centre in south BelfastKashif Akram, a member of the executive committee for Belfast Islamic Centre, said the building itself was “well protected” but the community and shops in the area were “not safe at all”.

Mr Akram said the Islamic Centre has received an “unbelievable” amount of messages over the weekend.“The fear in a lot of them: ‘Should we be opening up today, should we be going to work, should we be leaving home?’"Especially in this day and age, for someone having a fear for their life, their livelihood, their income, it’s not acceptable."

“Despite all the assurances from PSNI leadership in the run up to Saturday’s mobilisations of what looked like far-right thugs, they were simply allowed to run free on the streets of Belfast," Mr Akram added."The inevitable outcome you’ve seen on the route – people were verbally abused, there was racist comments being made, people were physically attacked, you’ve seen the state of some of the shops.”

He said plans for an upcoming rally “needs to be stopped”.

“It’s organised crime, it’s racism and it needs to be nipped in the bud. It’s the first time in a long time I’ve felt fearful for my children leaving the house on a Saturday afternoon to enjoy themselves and it needs to be addressed.”He said: "The nuances with the new legislation is some of the requirements around things like reasonable adjustments, whether somebody has a disability or not as defined within the legislation, some of those things are quite complicated and will be different from individual to individual.

"I don't think it's possible for a business to be completely ready but we would expect organisations to be contacting us."Private car parks in the UK are to offer motorists a 10-minute "grace period" before they impose a charge for overstaying.

The measure was announced as part of a new code of practice companies have pledged to implement in the autumn.Industry trade bodies say the code will also introduce a fairer appeals system and maintain an existing cap on charges.
