As part of the security plans for this year's Creamfields, the Cream team have announced they have hired the Glastonbury Festival's legendary Super Fortress Fence to prevent non-ticket holders from gaining access to the site. The introduction of the fence comes on top of extra stewards and ticket checks to ensure the festival - who have had very few troubles over the years - is one of the safest yet.
Festival Director Jim King told CMU yesterday: "We are aware that improved security was needed at the event and the measures introduced last year resulted in a significant reduction in crime and resulted in arguably the best Creamfields ever. This year we have managed to secure the Glastonbury super fortress fence to cover over one third of the overall perimeter. The benefit that this fence has had for Glastonbury is well documented and we are convinced that it will play a major role in keeping unwanted fence jumpers out of the site, helping to improve the festival even further.
Geoff Gorringe of the company who own the fence used by Glasto added: "Following on from the continued success of Eve Trackways Super Fortress Fence at this year's Glastonbury Festival we have decided that it would be the best product to protect the most vulnerable parts of the Creamfields perimeter. Having kept unwanted fence jumpers out at numerous festivals over the last few years the Super Fence has managed to be breached only once...by The S.A.S".
