Football fans urged not to drink and drive ahead of the World Cup

As the World Cup kicks off between 11 June and 19 July, TfGM are urging football fans not to drink, or take drugs, and drive. Drink and drug use amongst drivers increases every year over the summer period, and this years World Cup is an additional factor at play which could contribute to an increase.

Safer Roads Greater Manchester's key aim is to reduce all KSIs (killed or seriously injured casualties) across Greater Manchester. This marketing campaign aims to raise awareness of the risks and consequences that drink and drug driving can cause.

Key messages for fans

Drink and drug driving can have serious consequences including injuring yourself and others.
If you are caught drink/drug driving, you will lose your licence and get a fine.
Plan your lift or taxi before the match and leave your car at home. Ensure you have a designated driver who will not drink to get you home safely.
You could still be under the influence the morning after drinking/taking drugs.

How you can help?

Please help encourage safer driving and reduce collisions by sharing this campaign on your social feeds. The partner toolkit has social captions, key messages, and social media assets to help you spread the word.

We have been asked to share details of CTP Summer Vigilance campaign which includes digital assets for World Cup related events.

With the UK threat level recently being raised to severe, it is more important than ever that the public are encouraged to report anything that doesn’t feel right.

We’re asking event organisers to help us share and amplify our important safety messages ‘If you see something that doesn’t feel right, report it’.

The materials on this page are designed for use in and around sporting venues or fan zones.

We would greatly value your support in amplifying our campaign messages through your available channels. You can support the campaign by doing the following:

Familiarise yourself with the campaign materials and ensure staff understand the campaign message.
Use our freely available materials to promote key messages using your platforms to reach your staff, contractors and guests/visitors. Consider where the campaign will be most visible in your setting. Materials and assets can be used on social media channels, email, website, digital displays etc.
Promote ACT Awareness e-learning training to your staff and contractors.
Lastly, share how you’re playing a part in keeping people safe – we would love to receive photos and feedback.

Relevant representations

A copy of the representation will be sent to the applicant, and if necessary, arrangements will be made for our Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee to hear the application and the representations made to it. Hearings will take place in public, although the Sub-Committee may in certain instances decide that it is in the public interest to hold hearings in private.

The details of all valid representations (including the names and addresses of those making representations) will be included in a report that we will prepare for the hearing. These reports are public documents and we are required by law to publish them.

All who have made representations will be invited to attend any hearing, as will the applicant.

Any person or responsible authority may be assisted or represented by any person at the hearing regardless of whether that person is legally qualified.

We will notify everyone of the date and time of the hearing and provide details of the procedure to be followed at the hearing. Only persons that have made a relevant representation, or their representative, can present evidence. Any new evidence should be served on all the parties to the hearing before the hearing date to allow proper consideration.

At the hearing the Sub-Committee will decide whether to grant the application in full or in part, and if granted what conditions should be imposed on the licence. The papers relating to any hearing will be published online.
