Glastonbury Festival goers warned about possible delays to reach the venue

In view of terror attacks and increased security checks en-route, thorough checking on the road to Glastonbury Festival, the fans have been warned to expect delays to reach the venue. Extra car and bag searches would mean arriving at the site could be a slow process.
The police of Avon and Somerset have admitted that there is "no intelligence" to suggest a specific threat to the festival but, in the aftermath of the terror attacks in London and Manchester, the security measures have been enhanced.
This has been reported in skynews.com dated 21 June 2017.

The police have indicated that the policing style would look and feel slightly different. There would be high visibility officers present throughout the festival, mostly for reassurance. They will be dressed in black shirts and will be wearing protective vests and body cameras.
Ticket-holders have been advised to pack light, place luggage tags or ID on all bags and belongings and these should include their personal details like their name and mobile number.
