UPP Group Makes Another Court Appearance on Laurys Bay Trespassing Charge<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A group of United Progressive Party (UPP) members, including community activist George Wehner, has made another court appearance in connection with a trespassing charge over access to Laurys Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case, which centres on allegations of trespassing at the traditional public access point to the bay, was adjourned after the prosecution again failed to comply with a previous court order to provide disclosure to the defence.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wehner said the Director of Public Prosecutions took charge of the case during Tuesday\u2019s hearing and gave an undertaking to the Magistrate that the defendants\u2019 legal team would receive the required documents.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The matter has been rescheduled for Thursday, 25 September 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public access to Laurys Bay has been the subject of a long-running dispute, with campaigners insisting the right of entry must be maintained.<\/p>
