Local Authorities
Role of the ACP
In addition to privately owned sites circuses also attend local authority controlled land such as parks and recreation grounds. The ACP believes that Local Authorities and other similar bodies should act in the best interests of the general public by ensuring that any circus that uses its land is a member of the ACP in the knowledge that it is dealing with an established and reputable circus that is a member of its industry trade body and complies with all regulatory requirements that the ACP is able to advise on.
The Local Authority has a comfort in knowing that the ACP offers a route for discussion and mediation in resolving difficulties. This is the general public's guarantee of quality, best value, best practice and commitment.
All members of the ACP must carry Public Liability Insurance.
