Notting Hill Carnival Strategic Review - Intelligent Space

The Greater London Authority Carnival Review Group will undertake a review of all aspects of the
running of the Notting Hill Carnival, with a view to making recommendations to the Mayor
regarding the future development of the Carnival within London.
The Review will address the current operation and management of all aspects of the Carnival, as
well as longer-term trends and opportunities for the event’s development.
It will work closely with the range of organisations involved in the running of the Carnival,
particularly the Notting Hill Carnival Trust, and will seek to take evidence from as many groups
and people as possible who are engaged in the organisation of the event.
The Review Group will address:
• The cultural aims of the Carnival
• Its economic and social benefits to London
• Location and organisational needs
• Stewarding, safety and security
• Staffing, financial and resource needs
• Management and political structure
• The role of the GLA, local authorities, and other funding partners.
It will undertake this Review by taking evidence from the Carnival organisers and from other
associated partners, such as the Metropolitan Police Service and relevant community
organisations. It will also review existing literature and research, including funding agreements,
committee papers etc.
It will also consider evidence from organisers of similar events both in the UK and in other
countries.
