Past meetings have posed Wormwood Scrubs or Hyde Park as possible end locations. A reduction in the number of sound systems and commerical floats has also been a suggested after residents and participants voiced their concern about the commercialisation of the event and the loss of it's roots. With respect to policing, the Review Panel have proposed that the Met and the Carnival Trust develop a jointly agreed community safety plan that will sllow the police to focus on crime detection and prevention rather than on crowd management. It has also been suggested that a police be allocated to each band or float in order to help ease congestion on the route and assist the floats in completing the route on time. This requires a commitment from all parties to work together in the interests of public safetly and cultural excellence.
Carnival is a wonderful coming together of all of London's communities.
It will require the effort and support of everyone to make it a safe and enjoyable family event. The Carnival Review Group aims to publish a final report with long-term recommendations for the future organisation and resourcing of the Notting Hill Carnival in the Spring. Diego was fatally attacked in Covent Garden last May after being followed by a man for more than a year. In October 1999 the man appeared outside the Canada Blanch Spanish school and teachers reported him to the police. A few weeks later graffiti appeared by the school entrance written by the same man and declaring love for Diego.
