HUNT supporters are planning a demonstration next week in protest at the Government's moves to ban hunting with dogs.
Supporters, along with beagles and gun-dogs, are expected to join the protest outside Harrogate Borough Council's offices, in Crescent Gardens, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, on Wednesday.
Countryside Alliance spokesman James Bates said the demonstration would coincide with a motion by Councillor Mike Bury, who represents the Killinghall ward, calling on the Government to rethink its strategy over the bill to ban hunting with dogs.
Mr Bates said: "Staff and supporters from local hunts will be supporting the motion vocally outside the council chamber."
Mr Bates said he believed the motion was the first of its kind in the country following the recent parliamentary vote on the hunting issue.
