The London Assembly is calling for a review of crowd safety at Notting Hill Carnival amid police concerns about "a mass casualty event" at the two-day festival.

Susan Hall AM, chair of the assembly's Police and Crime Committee, said there have been "a number of incredibly worrying incidents with crowd density" at the carnival.

She raised concerns about the Metropolitan Police's ability "to keep visitors safe or to respond to any incidents that occur".

The committee said the mayor should conduct a full review of pinch points and there should be strict guidance for the number of stewards required across the carnival.
