Lost children are the main concern to the Metropolitan Police at Carnival 2000. If you can, take your family to a less congested area - try to spread out along the route. In particular, avoid the live stages and the sound systems . If you should become separated from your kids there are two lost and found children centres located at Lancaster Road and outside the bus depot in Great Western Road. The good news is that once again the Met have worked very closely with the Carnival organisers and they are both expecting this year's Carnival to be trouble free.
Public safety is the top priority.
As always, the advice boils down to good old common-sense. Stick to these simple guidelines and you'll help make this Carnival one to remember for all the right reasons. Carry expensive items. Carry lots of cash. It's your Carnival - but remember people live there.
