Far-right group Britain First has been forced to find a new venue for its annual conference this Saturday after a local community association told the party the event had been cancelled.
Councillor Paul Bettison, leader of Bracknell Forest Council, said: "The meeting has been cancelled... due to concerns that it could impact on the peace and harmony of the local community, which includes several nearby community facilities."
Britain First leader Paul Golding has accused trade unions of attempting to shut the event down before it took place.
"The left-wing trade union fascists are trying it get it closed down 'in the name of democracy'," Golding, a former director of publicity at the British National Party, told BuzzFeed News.
The conference was set to take place in Owslmoor Community Centre this weekend in a venue that holds up to 100 people. The venue was in the town of Sandhurst and near the military academy where British army officers are trained.
Golding specifically blamed Unison, one of Britain's largest trade unions, as being responsible for putting pressure on the local council in Berkshire to not allow Britain First to hold their conference in the area. He also accused trade unions of putting pressure directly on councillors.
Britain First accused the council of having "banned" the party from holding its conference and said it has backup venue options and that the conference will still take place on Saturday.
The venue booking was made not under the banner of the organisation but in the name of an individual, whose name has not been revealed.
Bettison, a councillor in the area, said once the community association found out the right-wing group were looking to host an event, it "took advice from the borough council and police and decided to cancel the booking" due to disruption that may have been caused by counter-protests.
"While Bracknell Forest Council doesn't run or manage the centre we fully support the committee's decision," the councillor said.
Britain First has told its supporters to vote for UKIP's candidate Mark Reckless in today's by-election in Rochester and Strood although Nigel Farage's party has tried to distance itself from these comments.
A UKIP canvasser yesterday had his party membership rescinded after he posted pro-Britain First comments and attended a march they held in Rochester last Saturday.
Unison said they were not involved in any attempt to block the Britain First conference.
