Camp Twaddell was set up in response to the 2013 decision of the Northern Ireland Parades Commission that the 12th of July Orange Parades could march past the Ardoyne shop fronts in the Catholic Ardoyne Ward on their way into the city centre in the morning, but could not march along an 800m section of the road past the shops on their return in the evening. The marchers claim that they have not been able to return home and set up a permanent protest camp - Camp Twaddell in Twaddell Avenue at the roundabout. A police presence has been maintained throughout to help preserve the peace at a cost of some £300,000 a week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkSFAJWZVIw
