themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-18--'Organised criminals' are plotting more illegal raves this weekend

Greater Manchester Police are increasing patrols to stop more illegal raves happening this weekend - and admit they could have done a better job last week .
They have picked up intelligence that 'organised criminals ' are planning to hold more raves at as-yet unnamed locations in Greater Manchester and , backed by the mayor Andy Burnham , have appealed to the public to provide the information to help officers stop them and pleaded with parents to prevent their children going .
Mayor Burnham said 'more could have been done ' by the force to stop one of last weekend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which has been accepted by GMP bosses who have set up a central intelligence gathering unit and will make more cops available to tackle the problem this weekend .
Some 4,000 people attended one rave in a field near Daisy Nook Country Park , Failsworth , where a man , 20 , died of a suspected drug overdose while up to 2,000 others went to another at a brownfield site in Carrington , Trafford , where three people were stabbed and woman was raped on Saturday night .
The Carrington event was described @ @ @ @ @ @ @ video footage showed youths fighting with machetes .
Police stopped a third rave in Hattersley but believe it simply moved to Daisy Nook .
Police sent officers including on horseback to snuff out the Daisy Nook event a few hours before it started following a tip-off but they could not find the organisers in the 100-acre park .
When they returned that night , officers decided to allow it to continue because they believed it would have been more dangerous to try and stop it as the numbers had swelled to 4,000 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the raves where people may have been charged a £10 entrance fee and where illegal drugs may have been traded .
At a press conference on Thursday afternoon , Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said he had asked Chief Constable Ian Hopkins to set up an action plan to prevent future illegal raves .
He accepted last Saturday had been 'an extremely challenging day ' for the force with a 50 per cent spike in 999 calls compared to previous Saturdays , including the Black Lives Matter protest and counter protest in Bolton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' about the Carrington rave which police only found out about late on Saturday and then took the decision not to stop it because of the number of people already there and the terrain .
But he went on that the police operation around the Daisy Nook rave 'could have been done better ' , saying that intelligence gathering 'could have been stronger ' and that there were 'lessons to be learned ' .
Assistant Chief Constable Nick Bailey admitted ' a far more coordinated partnership approach ' was required and he promised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and beyond .
He blamed organised criminals who were 'putting a lot of people 's lives and safety at risk ' .
The force has now set up an intelligence cell to gather information about up-coming illegals raves , and it has already picked up information on social media more events this weekend although no locations have been identified .
Patrols would be sent to 'risk ' areas and , instead of leaving the issue with divisional police commanders , the operation was now being overseen by a force-wide 'silver command ' of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local authority officials , he said .
Shortly after the press conference ended , it emerged a number of roads around Rochdale Road in Collyhurst , north Manchester , will be closed from Saturday afternoon until 2am on Sunday over police concerns of an 'outdoor party ' being planned there .
But ACC Bailey said illegal raves were difficult to stop when they were in full swing but the effort now was to prevent them happening in the first place .
Police will seize equipment and vehicles from organisers , using the Criminal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dish out fines to those who attend , he said .
Mayor Burnham added : `` To the young people who may be thinking of going to these events , I understand how frustrating lockdown may have been to you .
But if you are going you are putting yourselves at serious risk of harm and more than that you are putting your families ' lives at risk from infection .
Please think about that .
`` To parents , we have all got our jobs to do to make sure where our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ excuse what-so-ever for parents to be dropping people off at events as we saw last weekend .

Actress Chelsee Healey , 31 , has apologised for going to the Daisy Nook rave and mayor Burnham urged her and other celebrities who attended to join him in deterring people from going to other raves .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-18--Mayors pan Government's local lockdown idea

The Government 's handling of 'local lockdown ' preparation has been panned by the mayors of Greater Manchester and Liverpool .
A term first introduced by Health Secretary Matt Hancock last month , ‘ Local lockdowns ’ will be used to tackle any spikes in the virus over the coming months , using a 'legal toolkit ' to enforce them .

But city leaders have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will work in reality - and how it will practicably be enforced .
It seems their questions remain unanswered .

The Government's handling of 'local lockdown' preparation has been panned by the mayors of Greater Manchester and Liverpool.
A term first introduced by Health Secretary Matt Hancock last month, ‘Local lockdowns’ will be used to tackle any spikes in the virus over the coming months, using a 'legal toolkit' to enforce them.
The new national Joint Biosecurity Centre - recently set up to monitor the pandemic’s data - would advise chief medical officers, ministers and local authorities about when this would be necessary.
But city leaders have for weeks now been questioning how this will work in reality - and how it will practicably be enforced.
It seems their questions remain unanswered.
At a Transport Select Committee and when asked about how prepared city leaders were for local lockdowns from a transport perspective, Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester Mayor, said the concept was 'fraught with difficulties', adding: "There is very little information out there beyond statements that the secretary of state for health has made.
"On the radio this morning he was talking about local lockdowns at a GP surgery, at hospitals, at a place of work. If local lockdown is at a specific location or building I can see it's doable - but if it's applied to a community I struggle to see how on earth that would be be enforceable in the current climate."
He said that the Government needed to issue guidance urgently to explain how a local lockdown could work - including the logistics of public transport and those who commute to or from an area in lockdown, adding: "We don't know what it means and under what powers it would be introduced."
He added: "I don't see how you would keep trams running under lockdown. What would you do if people couldn't get to work in those areas? A local furlough scheme? None of these schemes have that information."
He said he did not want to see coronavirus spreading in communities but that talk of 'putting communities under lockdown' - especially when the virus appeared to impact more severely areas of deprivation - was 'not helpful'.
He called for a different approach including 'more localised data' on 'how this virus is changing on the ground' to be considered before a lockdown.
His criticisms were echoed by Steve Rotheram, Liverpool city mayor, who questioned why the government had not consulted city authorities before announcing the idea.
He added: "During the announcement by Matt Hancock in a Downing Street briefing he specifically mentioned areas like Liverpool and Manchester, that was the scale of what a local lockdown might look like.
Describing the idea as 'very confused and disjointed', he questioned who would enforce measures, adding: "The police haven't got the capacity to do it, would we ask the military?"

Swans , goslings and 12 Canada Geese were rescued after a diesel spillage along a stretch of canal in Manchester city centre .
Firefighters and the RSPCA were involved in the operation at three locations on the Bridgewater Canal .
Officers from the charity were first called on Wednesday , when the geese were recovered .
But they were forced to return today to rescue swans and goslings covered in diesel .
The RSPCA said it acted after reports of diesel in the waterway which had covered the birds .
Animal welfare officer Steve Wickham and collection officer Lauren Bradshaw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of the public .
The RSPCA said oil reduces the natural waterproofing in a waterbird 's plumage , leaving them at risk of dying from hypothermia .
As a result , it 's vital stranded birds are rescued and treated as soon as possible .
At an area of the canal near Ellesmere Street , a specialist water raft was used to help rescue the 12 geese , with the help of Greater Manchester Fire Service .
Goslings covered in diesel were also saved .
The RSPCA said three were spotted in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Animal welfare officer Wickham used a fire service ladder to climb down and reach them .
More diesel-covered goslings were then rescued from a stretch of the canal near Newton Street in Stretford .
The RSPCA believes torrential rain on Tuesday could have washed diesel into the canal .
AWO Wickham said : `` There were a few which were on the land so were easy to catch , but we needed more bodies in the canal to help rescue the others so the firefighters - who are also trained in water rescues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ colleagues were able to help .
`` We used a water raft but at some points we were swimming or wading through the water to safely capture the birds throughout the day .
`` We are always grateful for assistance from the fire service who do help us out on many incidents and this helps them with training for rescues involving people .
`` We believe the torrential rain on Tuesday may have washed diesel into the canal and this has oiled the birds .

Under new rules set out by the regulator, banks and building societies will have to let people skip payments on credit cards and extend 0% overdrafts until October.
Under the plans, those who yet to request an arranged interest-free overdraft of up to £500 or a payment freeze will also be able to do so until 31 October 2020.
If you've already used a payment holiday but are still experiencing difficulties because of coronavirus, you'll receive support for three extra months.
Speaking about the changes, FCA interim chief executive Christopher Woolard said: "The proposals we’ve announced today would provide an expected minimum level of financial support for consumers who remain in, or enter, temporary financial difficulty due to coronavirus.
"Where consumers can afford to make payments, it is in their best long-term interest to do so, but for those who need help, it will be there."
According to the Mirror, banks have until 5pm on Monday to respond to the proposals, which look set to become firm rules very shortly after that.

Both ahead of and during the match , Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a number of decisions to make , starting with who will be in his starting lineup and which nine players will be included on the substitutes bench .

That has in turn increased the number of players allowed to be included on the bench from seven to nine .
