Venues and clubs to face fines up to 18 million in new anti-terrorism measures
Briefly

Under the proposals, all UK venues and events with a capacity of more than 200 people will be required to take steps to prepare for and protect against an attack on their premises. This includes a duty to report to the regulator and implement safety procedures to meet new requirements. The changes, sparked by the Manchester Arena bombing, will help ensure public spaces are safer and help protect visitors and staff from potential terror attacks.
Figen Murray, the mother of Martyn Hett who was killed in the Manchester Arena bombing, has campaigned for these legislative changes for years, highlighting the importance of making public venues safer. She believes that the introduction of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill represents a crucial step forward in honoring the memories of the victims and securing the safety of future concertgoers and event attendees, creating a safer environment for everyone.
