Carnival Route - complications!

We completed a tour of the route for our procession today and reviewed the policing and event safety concerns for the route. The major problem identified is ensuring good policing of the Eastern roundabout along Winston Way. It is a major traffic intersection and two entrances to the roundabout will need closure for up to 10 minutes. The concern is reduced in significance as we are holding a Sunday Procession.

We will have meeting with Traffic Police and the Highways Team on Monday for final ratification and hope to share good news with all our potential Carnival revellers via our blog after this. The good news is that the management team from Skanska -working on the new right hand turn lane at the top of the High Road/beginning of Cranbrook Road will be ready for use by our procession for the 6th of September- should we obtain the requisite Traffic Management Order! Excellent news methinks!
