Do the police need to be notified if you are holding an event on a village green?

Answers:
Depends on the event; in the US, I'd notify them in case you need a permit or in case it's not even legal to be there.

depends whether there is drugs and alchol involved

---

i'm not really sure, but it wouldn't hurt to let them know. maybe they can assist in some form or fashion.

---

You probably should contact the local administrative office i.e. city clerk, county clerk or parks and recreation dept. A permit is probably required. They may require you to provide security or to notify the PD.

i would imagine only so if there will be disruption to traffic (i.e parade) or if you feel the attendance will cause a problem (i.e noise, evening do with bar) and so on. Otherwise i would just go ahead with it. It may be worth contacting the local/ parish council (if you have not already) as presumably it is a public space owned and maintained by them and i expect you would have to seek some sort of permission from them.

Yes they do. And if the event is bringing in members of the public then you may also need public liability insurance, depending on nature of event.

I would contact the local council for further assistance.

---

Yes, they need to be informed along with the local authority who you need to seek permission from. You will find that you need to comply with various health and safety guidelines, depending on the event and the types of equipment involved. Your local authority will advise you.

depends on the event but to be on the safe side you better just contact then better to be safe than sorry =]

---

depends where you are. Ask the police office or check the local laws yourself to make sure.

---

you will most likely have to have a permit, you need to contact your county/town clerk's office for zoning info.

No, the city needs to be notified though. And all the necessary paperwork needs to be filled out and read over properly. You should also make sure you understand the conditions laid out by the city for the event. If you do not do this, then you could run into a problem like the Illegal Immigrant protest in L.A. that got out of hand. This was all due to the fact that they didn't follow the rules and the protest route given to them by the city, and therefore, the police were in their right to do what was necessary to disperse the crowd.

Only if your white and working.
Otherwise no one would dare to challenge you fearing political repercussions.

---

In short yes. However, in order to hold an event in a public area, you will need to obtain a permit from your municipality/city office. In order to get the permit you will have to provide insurance to cover accidents and injuries, your city will tell you how much insurance you need and how to get it.

Additionally, you will have to get signatures from other offices in the city such as fire and police. Chances are one of the requirements of the permit being granted is that you can have police present.

Check with your Parish Council.

Don't worry, if there are cars parking, with potential lolly for the Chief Contables bonus fund, they will come along anyway.
