The level of congestion 'was unprecedented'
Download Festival organisers have addressed the chaotic traffic caused by the music event and said it was 'not acceptable'. The organisers have a commitment to a review of the traffic management plan ahead of next June's event after the long delays and busy traffic due to this year's event.
A festival goer who travelled from Leeds on Wednesday, June 7, said: "The jam started at 10.50am on the M1 at J24 [for Kegworth] and I've managed to do 1.1 miles in three-and-a-half hours and I'm still not at the festival site. It's chaos."The event organisers, Live Nation, said the cause of the chaotic traffic was down to higher attendance, increased number of vehicles and the routing to some car parks.
A statement from the organisers about the traffic problems, following several traffic management debrief meetings, has now been issued. It said: "We recognise that the level of traffic congestion was unprecedented and not acceptable due to the effect it had on our customers and the local community. "As organisers of the festival, we have committed to a full review of the traffic management plan and information that was provided to ticket holders relating to the route to designated car parks. As part of the review, the festival will improve community engagement ahead of planning for 2024’s event including meetings with the local residential and commercial community to be held later this year.
