Festival on terror alert

13:12, Jul 6 2007

Perthshire Advertiser

 

MUSIC fans heading to T in the Park this weekend are being asked to stay vigilant in the wake of the terrorist attack on Glasgow Airport.

With around 80,000 festival-goers expected to roll-up for the Balado extravaganza, which starts today, police have warned those attending to expect more stringent safety checks than usual with the terror threat to the UK still rated as severe.

Chief Superintendent Matt Hamilton said Tayside Police had increased its activities in the wake of recent incidents in London and Glasgow in common with other forces.

Consequently, visitors to T can expect to find high visibility patrols in the vicinity of the Kinross-shire arena.

Said Mr Hamilton: “Those attending T in the Park will be subjected to searches and we would ask that revellers do not leave any bags unattended.”
