Local authorities are best placed to determine arrangements for local events, taking account of the needs of the community.

Local Resilience Forums do not usually play a role in supporting local events unless the scale warrants the Local Resilience Forum leading on planning (e.g. Royal International Air Tattoo; Glastonbury, Commonwealth Games).
