Police introduce stop and search powers around Heaton Park on second day of Parklife festival

Police have introduced stop and search powers around Prestwich and Heaton Park on the second day of the Parklife festival.

The section 60, which has granted officers extended powers to address 'the risk of serious violence or weapons', has not been implemented because of any specific incidents at the festival, police said.

The stop and search order will run from 5pm on Sunday (June 11) until 3am on Monday (June 12) to reassure those leaving the festival that they are safe as officers work with security teams.
