After many years of stability within the department, this year’s festival was delivered by a brand new 
Police Planning team led by Superintendent Olly Cosgrove (Silver Planning lead) and supported by Inspector Mark Nicholson 
(lead planner) and PC Lindsey Pendleton  (planner). 

Olly is a Bronze and Silver Public Order Commander and a specialist Tactical Firearms Commander who has commanded national security operations alongside high profile football matches, and was one of the Bronze Commanders at the recent Bristol disorders. Olly has a background in Neighbourhood Policing having come to the Operations department from being the area Commander for South Bristol.
