Police warn farmers after blockades at Holyhead Port ahead of reopening

Police have issued a warning letter to farmers following blockades at Holyhead Port. The port, closed due to storm damage, is expected to partially reopen this week. The letter warns that further protests could lead to prosecution under the Public Order Act. Farmers had previously staged protests against government treatment. The police letter emphasizes that while peaceful protest is allowed, it is not absolute and can be restricted if it disrupts community life. Interference with key infrastructure is a criminal offense. Reactions to the letter on social media have been negative, with some calling it a threat and others arguing that slow-moving vehicles cannot be breaking the law. The police aim to maintain a cooperative relationship with the farming community.
