The planning of policing for the event has been led by Chief Inspector Lawrence Hobbs, who insisted the force was working to ensure policing levels in the city and the rest of Sussex would not suffer.

Chief Insp Hobbs said: “We are well versed in policing such conferences and events and will work to ensure that security levels are proportionate and cause the minimum amount of disruption.

The level of physical security will be much more discreet, and cordons, barriers and road closures will not be necessary. The threat level to this event is constantly monitored and is deemed low.”
