Minutes:

The Visitor Economy and Events Development Manager introduced the report which refers predominantly to events held on Council land, with reference to other events. The capacity for events at Mote Park from June 2021 had been reached, although some events may be cancelled.

 

When applying to run an event, organisers would need to provide a risk assessment specifically regarding COVID-19, additional to the Health and Safety and Fire Safety risk assessments usually provided. Smaller events that had not previously needed to seek approval from the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) would be required to do so, and the Visitor Economy and Events Development Manager confirmed that the team would assist event organisers with this process where possible.

 

New legislation would be acted upon as it was published, and the MBC guide to event management would be updated as appropriate.

 

RESOLVED: That the contents of the report be noted.
