Rejected petition Raise the UK national terror threat level to Severe, issue new security guidance
Raise the UK national terror threat level to Severe in response to recent attacks, and issue updated security guidance for the public and for locations that may be at higher risk.
More details
Recent violent incidents in Manchester and London have increased public concern regarding the risk of further attacks. Raising the national threat level and providing updated security guidance would support preparedness and assist communities, local authorities and at-risk locations in planning appropriate protective measures. Clear information would help improve public awareness and strengthen national resilience.
