There’s no real need to consider ways it might be reorganised. What would help would be for the Carnival to be discontinued – at least in its current location. Quite why it was ever allowed to develop the way it did is a puzzle. Roads are supposed to be for enabling travel from here to there. I’m sure there are plenty of places that would be more than willing...

If there is a danger to public safety, then yes - changes must be considered and those that are workable implemented.
There has been talk of extending the Carnival to three days, so that the crowds on each day are smaller. This would help in moving people and policing, but local residents might well oppose this.
It would be helpful to understand what the proposals are (with regard to crowd control and scaling back the event) before urging the Mayor to take action.

I am a bit suspicious as to the motives of this report. It looks to me like an unsubtle attempt to take control from the local community and hand it to a load of white people who haven't a clue about the carnival.
// Part of the problem, the report said, is that the London Notting Hill Carnival Enterprises Trust (LNHCET), the volunteer-run group that organises the event, lacks “the support and capacity” it needs to deliver it safely. //
It is a victim of its own success. The crowds it now attracts may constitute a safety problem, but there has to be ways around that other than scaling down an event that is enjoyed by a million Londoners.

/// Notting Hill Carnival poses a "real risk to public safety" and in 2016 saw four stabbings so serious the victims nearly died, according to a report. ///
/// The event - at which 450 arrests were made last year - must be made safer, London's mayor has been warned. ///

Quite why it was ever allowed to develop the way it did is a puzzle. Roads are supposed to be for enabling travel from here to there. I’m sure there are plenty of places that would be more than willing to host this jamboree (for a suitable fee which would include all the costs of policing and clearing up).
Many years ago I knew a lady who lived in All Saints Road. She had lived there for many years (since long before the Carnival expanded into the nonsense it is now). However, by the early 1980s she was forced to move out every August Bank Holiday and stay with relatives for a few days. Life where she lived at that time had simply become intolerable. It is unacceptable that people have to move out of their homes to accommodate an event that should be held in the middle of a large field, far from where anybody might live.

It is just an unashamed power grab by the local politicians.
They see a highly successful, economic money spinner and they don't control it. so they want to steal it off of the local community. The excuse of crowd safety is a lame excuse.
The conclusion after 95 people were killed at Hillsborough wasn't that the FA couldn't run the FA Cup because of crowd safety, and the Police and local authority should take over the task of running the FA Cup. That would have nonsense, and this report is also nonsense.

AOG - //'the old bill' could not be blamed if there was a tragic event at this mass gathering, it would be down to the organisers and those who allowed such an event to continue. //
Please read what I said - I said that if the police behaved in the same way as at Hillsborough - which was with criminal negligence - then they would and should be blamed for the resulting fatalities.

tambourine - //Move it to 02 with their security experience. 02 is a display venue that should suit NHCarnival display. //
The reason why the Notting Hill Carnival succeeds, is because it takes place in the streets of Notting Hill and it's a carnival.
If you move it away, and put it inside, it ceases to be what it is - how would that solve anything.
