Conditions Consistent with the Operating Schedule
General
We address these 4 objectives and many other health and safety issues at our regular meetings. Briefly as the 4 issues are addressed in summary form below and more fully under each section further down in 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 side 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 children’s activities are in a quiet secure corner of the site. This area has the large Mothers Union Tent which is their and their parents’ sanctuary. The police and security presence will also help to create the right culture and atmosphere.
The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
We undertake a 21 rule at the bar and all workers are advosed of the regulations and procedures, asking for ID i.e. passport, driving licence, etc and recording any refusals
We use contactless 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 till and from other stalls. This is then taken discreetly 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 manage the site entrance during busy periods and patrol the site again for added presence
Public Safety
With the numbers of people anticipated we always have professional First Aid on site - St John’s have confirmed for this year. We also have a number of first aid trained officials from both St John;s Cricket Club and St Anne’s Church
St John’s have a tent which 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 whole are around the stage including in front of the stage are is cordoned off for safety. The wires from generator to the stage and the electric tent is all buried underground to avoid trip hazards. The large generator is fully fenced off
All stage 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 that the local residents are fully informed and advised of the event. One local ward councillor is on the organising committee and available to speak to residents. We have held meetings previously but these became increasingly poorly supported as everyone is fully aware of this annual event
We have applied for road closures at the junction of Kirklees Street and Roydes Street. This ensures there is no bottle neck and averting a potential traffic jam if too many cards 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 badge 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 marquee 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 families and carers
This is in addition to the first aid cover in case of injury
The children’s area which includes the above tent, and has numerous children’s activities etc is situated 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
