Autumn brings both celebration and challenge: heavy rainfall, darker evenings, and seasonal events that require careful planning. In this issue of our newsletter, we focus on the practical steps councils and community leaders can take to stay resilient.
In the latest issue of Community Matters, we focus on timely seasonal risks and how to mitigate them with clear, actionable guidance. Highlights include:
- Preventing slips and falls — learn how lighting, surface maintenance and hazard awareness can reduce the likelihood of accidents in public spaces
- Safe storage for events equipment — Poor storage practices can lead to accidents, injuries or property damage. We outline key do's and don't's for managing equipment before and after events
- Fireworks and bonfire safety — From local permissions to Martyn's Law and crowd control, our checklist aims to help councils and community groups plan safe, compliant celebrations
- Flood resilience planning — With climate risks on the rise, we offer a practical flood resilience checklist covering maintenance, emergency protocols and insurance best practices for councils and communities
Each article in the newsletter has been written to support your organisation with preparing for the season ahead, helping you to reduce risk and keep communities safe.
Please contact us if you have any suggestions for future articles as we'd love to hear them. You can also stay up to date with the latest from Gallagher by following us on LinkedIn.
