@sarahbridle Great to see this go live, and a pleasure to be a part of through the advisory board and completing the survey. In an increasingly connected world it has never been more important for businesses to think beyond single risks and solutions.

@RogerBailey3RRF@whtimes As a nearby resident (across the road) I know how good a job other event organisations do with traffic management - e.g. slam dunk runs for 2 days with 20,000 people each day and no problems. A lot of people blaming Hatfield house for @AEG_Presents problems unfairly.
