The Home Office is looking for your input into how local authorities, businesses, police and communities should protect the areas where we all live, work and play from terrorist attacks.
Because terrorists aim for the highest possible loss of life, places where people gather are always particularly vulnerable. So we've launched a consultation to help everyone in those areas better understand their roles and the practical changes they can make to keep everyone safer.
Crowded areas include everyday gathering spots like pubs and night clubs, busy shopping centres, football grounds, and even restaurants, cinemas and theatres.
The consultation is designed to ensure that those who work with or in busy crowded areas understands their roles clearly, and the practical changes they can make to keep people safe. The consultation also looks at how planners and architects can design buildings and public spaces that are safer for everyone.
The consultation builds on a 2007 review of crowded places, which found that a new approach was needed to protect these areas, and that security should be considered when new public areas are planned and designed.
The consultation ends 10 July 2009.
