Nottinghamshire Police have issued an urgent appeal to individuals planning to gather in Nottingham on Wednesday evening, revealing that the advertised location is actually the home of an elderly, vulnerable resident.
Misleading Information
The police force has expressed serious concern after discovering that the planned gathering, which has been widely advertised on social media, is set to take place at a private residence. The property belongs to an elderly person who is particularly vulnerable and unaware of the plans.
Official Statement
In an official statement, a spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Police said, “We have become aware of a planned gathering advertised on social media for Wednesday evening in Nottingham. Unfortunately, the advertised location is a private residence belonging to an elderly and vulnerable resident. We urge everyone who is planning to attend to reconsider and refrain from turning up at this address.”
Appeal for Sensitivity
The police emphasized the importance of respecting the privacy and well-being of the residents. “It is crucial that we protect our vulnerable members of society. Gathering at this location not only invades the privacy of the residents but also poses significant risks to their safety and well-being,” the spokesperson added.
Request for Cooperation
Nottinghamshire Police are calling for cooperation from the public to prevent any distress or potential harm to the resident. “We are requesting everyone’s cooperation in this matter. Please share this information widely and help us ensure that the planned gathering does not proceed at this location.”
Alternative Arrangements
The police are also encouraging event organizers to find an alternative, appropriate venue for their gathering. “We understand that people may wish to come together for various reasons, but it is imperative that such events are held in suitable and safe locations. We recommend organizers to seek alternative arrangements that do not jeopardize the safety of individuals,” the statement concluded.
