General Objectives
The event is ticketed and this will ensure that a safe capacity is maintained to limit an crowd issues.
Prevention of crime and disorder
There will be a perimeter fence around the whole site so the admission can be controlled. All tickets are sold online which will mean that people are identifiable to a certain extent should any crime be committed.
Public safety
A full risk and safety assessment will be completed covering all aspects but not limited to Crowd Safety, Aggressive attendees, intoxicated attendees, First Safety. There will also be full compliance with both Martyns Law and the Purple Guide covering these kind of events.
There will be ample stewards on site to assist the public and direct them should there be any requirement to evacuate the site. There are four exits, one being vehiculare access size so the site should be quite easily evacuated in the event of an emergency within 3 minutes. The main pedestrian entrance will also be able to open up to allow large capacity of people to leave in an emergency evacuation. There will also be two public address systems that can issue clear instructions should the need arise.
Prevention of public nuisance
SIA staff will have the ability to eject any attendees who cause any kind of nuisance and having the Safer Neighbourhood Team on site they can update their control room, if required so local patrols can bear in mind once ejected.
