Marshalls Landscape Protection, part of the Marshalls Group, has welcomed the Government’s response to the protect duty consultation, which seeks to improve safety in public spaces.
The legislation, which should come into effect later this year, places a new responsibility on venue owners and event organisers to ensure reasonable and proportionate measures are implemented to protect visitors from harm. The move comes following pressure from victims’ groups, including the Martyn’s Law campaign, named after Martyn Hett, who was tragically killed in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack in 2017.
