Rebellion city chaos
Police assistant chief constable, said: “We know that for much of our tourism economy the bank holiday brings opportunity to try and make up for revenue lost during lockdown earlier this year.
“We are working to support this and hope everyone can enjoy our towns, beaches and moors in a safe and respectable manner.
“Demand on the police and all emergency services, including HM Coastguard, has been enormous during August.”
Devon and Cornwall Police took more than 2,000 999 calls on August 24 and 25.
The force added: “Drink-related issues have been particularly prevalent but are avoidable if people remember their limits and act responsibly.”
EXTINCTION Rebellion has vowed to spark bank holiday weekend chaos by blocking streets in major cities.
The eco-warriors are plotting blockades in London, Manchester and Cardiff to urge MPS to back a climate emergency bill.
They also plan banner drops, sit-ins, marches and picnics around the UK.
It includes a “mad hatter’s tea party” at Gatwick Airport and shutting off a Bristol bridge with a jumbo elephant.
And five groups will block roads leading to Parliament as they march on Westminster on Tuesday.
Anneka Sutcliffe, from Extinction Rebellion, said: “We’re really hoping to have a big show of solidarity.”
