Conditions Consistent with the Operating Schedule
General
We address these 4 objectives and many other health and saety issues at our regular meetings. Briefly as the 4 issues are addressed in in summary form below and more fully under each section further down the
application:-
b) a high profile from the police ,PCSO and our private security team coupled with a neat, tidy and professionally managed site which all helps to create the right culture to discourage crime.
c) We are very aware of keeping walkways clear to aid movement round the site and be free of trip hazards. All electrical and anything generating heat is fenced off and out of public access. Should an accident occur we have professional First Aid on site.
d) an event of the size will create some disturbance to normal life which we accept but make every effort to minimise this. We notify all local residents by public notices and a personal hand delivered note. We direct cars to official parking spots and make extra parking provision with agreement to open schools and business spaces.
e) this is a family event and we are aware that we have a duty to protect as well as entertain children. The childrens activities are in a quiet secure corner of the site. This area has the large Mothers Union Tent which is their and their parent s sanctury. The police and security presence will also help create the right culture and atmosphere.
The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
We undertake a 21rule at the bar and all workers are advised of the regulations and procedures.,asking for ID Passport Driving Licence etc and recording any refusals.
We will use contact-less payments where possible and have at least 5 machines behind the bar to reduce cash handling.
This is a good visual deterrent advertising the fact that little cash is taken. Cash is regularly removed from the the till and from other stalls. This is then discreetly taken off site by at least 2 people and stored safely.
We have approached both the police and PCSO for support on the day and have historically experienced excellent support here. A visible presence is always helpful.
In addition we employ staff from a security firm to help managed the site entrance during busy periods and partol the site again for added presence.
Public Safety
With the numbers of people anticipated we always have professional First aid unit on site - St John's have confirmed for this year. We also have numerous first aid trained officials from both St John's Cricket Club and St Anne's Church (applicant included).
St John's have a tent which is will be placed in a prominent position near the entrance so it is visible as people enter the site and we hope this registers if required later.
The the whole area round the stage including in front of the stage area is cordoned off for safety. The wires from generator to stage and the electric control tent are all buried under ground to avoid trip hazard. The large generator is fully fenced off All bar mechanism including gas bottles are secure in the cricket nets again away from public footfall.
The Prevention of Public Nuisance
Again with the numbers involved we ensure the local residents are fully informed and advised of the event. One local ward councillor (who was re-elected in recent elections) is on the organising committee and available to speak to residents. We have held meting previously but these became increasing poorly supported as everyone is fully aware of this annual event.
We have applied for road closure at the junction of Kirklees Street and Roydes Street. Thus ensuring there is no bottle neck and averting a potential traffic jam if too many cars try to turn round at the cul-de-sac Beryl Avenue. We ensure the Road
closure barrier is manned and we can easily redirect traffic along Roydes Street with no u turns necessary. Disabled badged cars are permitted through the barrier and can park on site.
We reach agreement with local the secondary school to open the site for parking plus local business. These car parks are all sign posted.
All residents will have a hand delivered information sheet together with a map and a vehicle pass allowing them access beyond the road closure. This is delivered by St Anne's uniformed organisations leading up to the event each year.
As mentioned earlier speakers amplification etc are all facing away from private dwellings and directed towards the open field and cricket pavilion.
We have ordered commercial waste bins and have specialist litter pickers on the day. All litter will be binned by 21.00
The only smoke generated is from our own BBQ -which is situated well away from any houses. The general public are not allowed any cooking equipment on site.
The Protection of Children from Harm
We are careful to advertise this as a family day out and we feel the safest place for children is in the care of parents and extended families. That said we provide a marque as a centre for families welfare. This will be staffed all day by Mothers Union members and is a safe haven and quiet retreat for babies, children and of course with family and carers.
This is in addition to the first aid cover in case of injury.
The childrens area which includes the above tent, and has numerous childrens activities etc is situated away from the stage and in the opposite corner of the area from the bar.
As above we adopt a 21 policy in the bar area so children are excluded.
