BANDS<br />

FUNDRAISING & SPONSORSHIP The event organiser has been the<br />

organisation responsible for raising the<br />

majority of the sponsorship for <strong>Carnival</strong>.<br />

<br />

PROCESSIONAL ROUTE<br />

The circular route was originally introduced<br />

in 1988 by the MPS. The Current ‘U’ shaped<br />

route was proposed by the local authorities<br />

and endorsed by the MPS in 2002..<br />

<br />

ROUTE ACCESS<br />

Although the event organiser has historically<br />

been responsible for issuing access permits<br />

to the route, the local authorities took over<br />

this responsibility in 2002. The police can<br />

also override pre-determined entry and exits<br />

points. Finally, the decision as to which<br />

entry/exit point is used by which band is left<br />

solely to the discretion of the band itself.<br />

<br />

CARNIVAL AREA &<br />

SECTORISATION<br />

Since the determination of the route also<br />

delineates the ‘<strong>Carnival</strong> Area’, it appears that<br />

the MPS and the local authorities are<br />

responsible for this. Also, the division of the<br />

<strong>Carnival</strong> Area into ‘sectors’ appears to be<br />

part of the <strong>Carnival</strong> policing strategy.<br />

<br />

PEDESTRIAN ZONES<br />

Again, this is determined by the MPS as part<br />

of their <strong>Carnival</strong> policing strategy. The local<br />

authorities are responsible for making the<br />

necessary orders.<br />

Road Traffic Regulations (Special<br />

Events) Act 1994<br />
