CT measures to be updated in town council's policy for public events

Biggleswade Town Council is adopting counter terrorism plans into a review of measures it uses to police public events.

Once Martyn's Law has passed through parliament, the council will add an amendment to its ‘lost and found child and vulnerable person policy’.

As reported by Biggleswade Today, “Officers have reviewed the council’s policy and assessed there are no external developments requiring the current documentation to be significantly changed.

“They assess the primary events held in the town centre meet the minimum numbers threshold of the Bill and that all possible risk mitigation for counter-terror is included in the final plans.

“Operationally, there’s no significant change to event delivery on the ground or to associated documentation. The multiple sets of risk mitigation policies for BTC events contain counter-terrorism measures already."
