Hi Fred

Thanks for your letter dated 27th March regarding the hearing date.

As discussed in the last SAG meeting I would like to officially request that the hearing be adjourned until the week commencing 28th May.  We feel it would be in the public interest to do so as an adjournment until this date will give us enough time to pull together the necessary documentation and finalise the EMP.  As discussed in the last SAG, a number of issues such as the security schedule, the fire risk assessment, arena plans, medical cover and the major incident plan are currently being finalised.  We are requesting an adjournment in order to be in a position to present the committee and responsible authorities with final plans rather than what is currently a 'work in progress' - i.e. we’d rather get it right first time!

Those who have made representations (namely the Police, Fire and Environmental Health) indicated to us in the meeting that they would support us in our request for an adjournment, and I hope that the committee will support us in this request also.

Please can you let me know if it would be possible to adjourn, and whether the last week in May is acceptable to the committee.  Please can you also let me know if we need to still need to attend the hearing on the 23rd April - if so we will make arrangements for someone to attend and formally request an adjournment on the day.

Hope you have a good Easter break - I am in Hong Kong next week but back on the 15th April - I should be able to pick up my emails over there, and I will be contactable by text message on my mobile too.

Kind Regards

Hannah Rossmorris
