Party Vibe

not seen any official mention of this (would expect the BBC or Thames Valley Police press office to give the announcement, as if it were the case it would mean they have to deal with a lot of excess traffic and potential public order situations as if people had paid £150 or so for something that isn’t gonna happen some might be getting a bit angry..

it might be possible that RBFRS (Royal Berks Fire and Rescue) would attend with pumps to try and remove any excess water from the site…

I will keep looking for any updates…

FFS someone ought to tell the BBC or put that on an official website somewhere as it might help to ease the traffic pressures – apparently the lower lying parts of Berkshire are under water (Maidenhead/Windsor and some parts of West Berkshire), the Fire Brigade are now at Major Incident status, so I can understand if the event has been closed on H&S grounds..

but without announcing this then loads of people, many unfamiliar with the region are going to be driving to an area of SE England that is currently flooded, where they will promptly encounter serious traffic congestion and Police containments.

If the Glade management don’t handle this incident properly, TVP Roads Policing Unit will do it for them and it won’t look good for next years license. After all its not as if they were all unaware of the ropey weather this season..

to further exacerbate matters it appears that TVP and the other blue light services have also concentrated their resources on the (admittedly much more severe) flooding in the Eastern part of Berkshire (Windsor and Maidenhead area) – with people being flooded out of their homes in some areas I expect dealing with this would clearly take priority over a music festival

in this situation I expect the cops would roadblock Glade just like an illegal rave and turn people back to limit the numbers attending for safety!

This also means traffic on the M4, A4 and all associated roads are gonna be atrocious..

I looked on the news earlier today and the road where I used to cycle to my friends house in Maidenhead was totally under water – I am so glad I am not in my old area today!
