Any vehicle parked in an unauthorised place will be towed away - signage has been placed along the route to provide advance information about the road closures.

Permits have been provided for residents to allow access through the closure points, although the road next to the entrance to The Square will not be passable due to the presence of horses and crowds.

A dedicated emergency telephone number has been set up for residents in the roads where access to their properties is affected. They have been contacted directly with this information.

Officers in high visibility uniform will be on duty throughout the event.
