IF POSSIBLE STICK TO MAIN ROADS WHEN WALKING AND WALK WITH OTHERS FOR SAFETY

There will be 1 x security guard at each of these junctions when road closures are enforced:
Sedgley Park Road and Bury New Road
Kings Road and Bury New Road
Richmond Ave and Bury New Road
Kings Road and Bury Old Road
The roads and surrounding areas will be very busy when people start arriving in the area from early afternoon and when the concert finishes at 11:00pm
On the whole, the atmosphere and the people attending will be good natured but please still be aware and be cautious that at 11:00pm over 60,000 people will be leaving the park.
