Outdoor and special events
Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council has a Special Events and Events Management Group. They:
- operate under the Corporate Health and Safety Section
- oversee the registration of outdoor and special events within the borough
- provide expert advice within the Local Authority to help it delegate its duties under public events legislation
A Safety Advisory Group (SAG) has also been established.
Safety Advisory Group (SAG)
The aim of the The Safety Advisory Group (SAG) is to:
- put in place a consistent approach to organised events within the Local Authority
- give each event the advice and guidance it needs
- ensure events take place with the utmost regard for safety
- produce a successful event
Because of the nature of the bodies that comprise the SAG, it is within your best interests to observe the free advice that they provide.
