The Orange Order was tonight banned from parading through the centre of Derry on July 12th.
The Parades Commission restricted the main parade to the mainly unionist Waterside area of the city, causing anger among local Orangemen.
One local lodge will be permitted to parade on the Cityside, departing from the War Memorial at the Fountain with its band.
Thousands of Orangemen from visiting towns and villages will have to remain on the other side of the Craigavon Bridge.
The last Orange parade on the mainly nationalist West Bank of the city was eight years ago.Orange leaders from the city condemned the commission's decision. One said: "We feel we are only asking for one hour to display our culture from our Christian organisation."
Bogside Residents' spokesman Mr Donncha MacNiallis said it was regrettable that the parades body had to be brought in to make a decision. "The only way the issue will be resolved is through a process of dialogue," he added.
The Orange Order has refused to take part in talks with his group.
His comments follow a plea from the Church of Ireland Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, Dr James Mehaffey, for the Orange Order to engage in talks with nationalist residents' groups.
The DUP’s Mr Gregory Campbell, condemned the ruling saying, "I think that's a deplorable ruling whenever you look at unionist towns like Limavady, like Desertmartin and Kilkeel that allow nationalist parades to go ahead," he said.
