Eleventh Night bonfires, cancelled last year in response to the Covid pandemic, will now go ahead in July, regardless of the restrictions in place at that time, according to loyalist sources.
Loyalists in Moygashel, Co Tyrone, have said they will refuse to liaise with community policing teams about their plans.
Loyalists in the Tigers Bay area of north Belfast have also said they will no longer cooperate, saying they were taking a stand against “two-tier policing”.
Further groups have withdrawn support, including organisations from north Antrim, south Derry and mid-Ulster.
The South Londonderry and Randalstown Collective posted online: “Law as we know it has been cast to the side, just like the unlawful removal of consent mechanisms in the Belfast Agreement which brought about the Protocol/Irish Sea Border. We now call on all shades of unionism to make a stand.”
