The Met Office have issued a severe weather warning affecting London & the South east. Please check www.metoffice.gov.uk for details. Issued at: 1652 on Mon 30 Apr 2012

Valid from: 2100 on Mon 30 Apr 2012

Outbreaks of rain, heavy and possibly thundery, are likely to affect southern England and the southern half of Wales, late on Monday and during Tuesday.
                        
                        The public should be aware that, following recent heavy rainfall, further localised flooding is possible, with parts of Devon, Dorset and Somerset looking especially vulnerable. There will also be difficult driving conditions at times.
                        
                        As we move through daylight hours on Tuesday the risk of heavy rain will gradually reduce.
                        
                        In addition, strong northeasterly winds are likely across the Midlands and parts of Wales.
                        

The Environment Agency have also issued flood alerts for south east england, details can be found at http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/34678.aspx?type=Region&term=Southeast&from=fl

Dear All,

From Ch Supt Alaric Bonthron

Ladies/Gentlemen

This is an early heads up regarding planned events over the Jubilee

Weekend. As you will see from the attached link on the direct gov

website there will be a significant impact on London across the

extended bank Holiday weekend.

I have been appointed Bronze Community, and the CSSC hub will be

operating - as it will regarding the Torch Relay events across the UK.

The link

_http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Nl1/Newsroom/Features/DG_WP200687_

highlights the many events which will take place and I would advise

planning starts now, for all your sectors, around that weekend's events.

There will be large crowds in town and around the Central London area.

There will also be road closures due to parades and processions which,

again, are outlined in the link on Direct Gov. You will know from

examination of your own operations in the light of these plans how

these events and the expected crowds will impact on your business.

I will be liaising with the command team and partners and aim to

update you as often as possible, highlighting issues of which you need

to be aware. I would be grateful for any information which comes to

your notice regarding protests, rumours of action etc so that we can

work on any necessary messages in response.

This will be a large scale event for the MPS, City of London and

British Transport Police.

I would encourage the promotion of Neighbourhood Link amongst your

sector now as this will aid my messaging and help in our preparation

for these events.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

1. REVIEW THE DIRECT GOV WEBSITE AND PLANNED ACTIVITIES AGAINST YOUR

BUSINESS. ANY INFORMATION YOU THINK YOU MAY NEED WHICH IS NOT

AVAILABLE PLEASE LET THE HUB KNOW SO WE CAN TRY AND ACTION OR LET YOU

KNOW WHY WE CANNOT.

2. START SIGN UP ACROSS YOUR SECTOR FOR NEIGHBOURHOOD LINK AT

___WWW.NEIGHBOURHOODLINK.MET.POLICE.UK_ ENSURING YOUR ENTRY IS IN THE

SECTOR THAT REFLECTS YOUR BUSINESS.

3. ANY COMPANY WITH RIVER VIEW PREMISES SEEKING TO HOLD ANY CORPORATE

EVENT OVER THAT WEEKEND THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO WE CAN ENSURE THE

COMMAND TEAMS ARE AWARE, YOU ARE AWARE OF ANY RESTRICTIONS WHICH WILL

BE IN PLACE, AND WE CAN ADVISE ON RIVERSIDE ACTIVITY AS YOU MAY HAVE

TO REVIEW CONTINGENCY PLANS.

Many thanks

Alaric
