Table 3: Carnival Public Safety Matrix PRIORITY AREAS/ISSUES WHAT REALLY HAPPENS APPLICABLE LEGISLATION LNHCL/ NHCL route. MPS BTP WCC RBKC TFL (London Buses) LUL LFEPA SJA LAS ARENAS/ BANDS MAINTENANCE OF EMERGENCY ACCESS ROUTES During the Carnival period, the police deployment strategy ensures that officers are stationed at key areas such as entry/exit points and sterile/safety zones so as to ensure that these areas are kept clear in the event of an emergency and to allow emergency vehicle access. TRAFFIC EXCLUSION ZONE/ ROAD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT The MPS are responsible for determining the Traffic Exclusion Zone. They are also responsible for implementing parking suspensions, whilst also maintaining an adequate number of parking facilities in the area. HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY “A safety policy is a document that demonstrates to others that the company or organisation to which it relates accepts that concern for health and safety is an integral part of its organisation at all levels and that the highest management within the company mean to ensure that this concern will be translated into effective action” 55 PUBLIC SAFETY KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE All officers from the statutory agencies who are involved in contingency planning for the Notting Hill Carnival have a high degree of public safety knowledge, experience and training. 55 “The Event Safety Guide: A Guide to Health, Safety and Welfare at Music and Similar Events”, Health & Safety Executive (HSE), (1999), p4. 74
Table 3: Carnival Public Safety Matrix PRIORITY AREAS/ISSUES WHAT REALLY HAPPENS APPLICABLE LEGISLATION LNHCL/ NHCL MPS BTP WCC RBKC TFL (London Buses) LUL LFEPA SJA LAS ARENAS/ BANDS BAND NUMBERS In theory, only bands that have been provided with permits by the event organiser are allowed entry into the Carnival area. In many cases, the fact that a band has not applied to take part in Carnival or been given a permit does not necessarily preclude a band from participating at the Carnival. VEHICLE (FLOAT) NUMBERS The number of vehicles (floats) on the Carnival route has been a pressing issue for the statutory agencies who argue that there are far too many vehicles on the road to ensure that all bands are judged before the Close Down time. Although the Carnival organiser has set a limit of two vehicles (one float and one support vehicle) per band, it is in reality unable to enforce this despite the introduction of a permit system. SOUND SYSTEM SITES The MPS and local authorities ultimately determine the location of sound system sites. Local authority officers who are responsible for issuing the permits carry out site inspections. LICENSED STALL HOLDERS/TRADERS The local authorities are responsible for issuing street trading licenses to all the Carnival stallholders and traders. MPS and LFEPA also contribute to joint stallholder briefing sessions and officers inspect stalls during the event to ensure that license conditions are being met. 75
