<p>Following recent attacks in Europe and the UK, National Counter Terrorism Policing
continues to review the security position of crowded places, open spaces and events.This
has led to the deployment of appropriate security measures including hostile vehicle
mitigation on a number of bridges and in some town centres, as well as a range of
operational police deployments.</p><p>The police plan for events in open spaces, such
as upcoming Christmas markets, is undertaken against the current threat level which
is SEVERE - an attack is highly likely. Proportionate security measures are developed
to protect the public in conjunction with the event operators and other responsible
bodies.</p>
