Cllr John Blair said: “All sides must now respect this decision by the Parades Commission. They are the lawful body whose determinations should be abided by. Those who break these determinations are breaking the law.
“In the absence of an alternative system, all sides must respect the Parades Commission.
“Following the recent violence, I would appeal for calm. I would caution people against using inflammatory language about this decision. We need to see community and political leaders working to ensure that we do not see a repeat of the recent trouble.
“At the recent talks in Cardiff, there was a commitment by all sides to accept the rule of law and show respect to the police. I hope that all groups will honour this commitment on Saturday.”
