The safety of a large carnival event is in jeopardy as significant concerns arise regarding funding for additional stewards. Sir Mark, addressing the issue, emphasized the need for financial support to ensure crowd safety and prevent potential tragedies, especially given the event's size. Officers are reportedly anxious about the potential for a crush, and funding issues could hinder the implementation of necessary safety measures. Organisers have reached out to the government for aid, while the police focus on preventing crime, further challenging public safety protocols.
The organisers, who are really good people, need the support to be able to do it properly, to keep everyone safe so they can enjoy that event.
None of the frontline officers he speaks to look forward to working at the event, amid concerns there could be a deadly crush due to the size of the crowds.
With just a matter of weeks to go until this year's event, we are significantly concerned that the essential funding has not been secured.
Frankly we want to fix our attention on the small number of people who come along to commit crime.
