Nottingham LGBT+ community say they feel safe ahead of Pride celebrations 2022
There is just one day to go before Nottingham hosts the first full Pride celebrations since the pandemic began in 2020. The event welcomes thousands of LGBT+ community members along with family, friends and allies to attend the march through the city streets.
Leigh said; "A lot of the organisation of Pride is centred around keeping people safe during the event. We work very closely with the safety advisory element of the city council, the police, the fire and ambulance service too. We plan our route very carefully to keep people safe and put in place certain road closures and measures to ensure that people who march can do so freely and maintain their safety.
Leigh said: "We work with the police and take on board their comments in terms of safety. We have to provide them with risk assessments and work with them on planning the march. There will always be a presence to keep people safe but we do ask that it is kept to a minimum and it tends to be community engagement officers that are there on the day"
She added: "The community has a history of sticking together and not allowing Transphobic elements to take hold and we hope that it continues that way. Pride is an event that brings the community together rather than divides it and that's what we hope to see again this year." They added: "We are making sure to have a clear, visible presence with flags and other promotional materials at this year's pride and will ensure that the community is aware that Nottingham Against Transphobia is here to represent the majority of people in the city."
