SECURITY MEASURES FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS

The safety and security of visitors, councillors and staff attending public meetings remains a priority. There are a number of security measures that may be implemented at all public meetings of the Council.  

Anyone attending the public gallery at any public meeting may be subject to a bag search. Those who do not consent to this taking place will be denied access to the building.  

We would remind attendees that the following items are prohibited:

• Pyrotechnics
• Bottles or cans
• Banners, placards or any other item that is likely to cause distress
• Anything that could be considered a weapon
• Any item that could be used to disrupt a meeting

In addition to the above, security and CCTV in the building has been enhanced.

Further information on public meetings and the various ways to get involved are set out on the council’s website Meetings, agendas, and minutes (trafford.gov.uk)
