Creamfields organisers have unveiled a host of improved security measures to make this years event the safest yet. Improved measures put in place at last year's event resulted in a 60% drop in crime at the festival. By further increasing lighting, security and policing levels, the organisers and police expect a further reduction in crime at this year’s event which is expected to attract over 40,000 people from across the UK.
Cream say: “Over the last 6 years Creamfields has statistically remained one of the safest festivals in the country, the safety of those attending has always been the organisers main priority, that and making sure that everyone has an amazing and memorable day out. This year's crime reduction strategy includes a greater number of police, stewards, and security officers who are there to help and not hinder. There will be a further 3km of fencing in place this year to prevent non-ticket holders from gaining access to the site, increased ticket checks will be in place, increased lighting along main thoroughfares, the car parks and within the site itself will be put in place to improve visibility, higher levels of security, high visible policing plus CCTV will also be in operation on site throughout the event.”
