SUSTAINABILITY

Bristol County Ground is committed to being a Zero Waste to Landfill venue. Any waste that can’t be recycled goes to Energy from Waste (EfW) or Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). We’re working hard to reducing single use plastics, for example through the introduction of re-usable cups.

We ask visitors to avoid bringing single use plastic bottles to the ground where possible – we have water available at our Stumps Café and Hammond Bar for spectators to fill drink bottles. We appreciate your support in keeping the ground clean and helping us protect our environment.

SAFETY

The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 has a full, dedicated security team working on plans for a safe and secure tournament for all participants and spectators.

We are working with police in all our host cites and the national security services to ensure the security provided at the tournament is of the highest order, while existing security staff at all CWC19 host venues are receiving additional training in the build-up to the tournament.

There will be enhanced security plans at all our host venues with visible security measures taking place, as well as other non-visible measures happening throughout the tournament, inside and outside the stadium.
