TODAY'S update into the work of emergency services shows the lasting impact of the Manchester Arena terror attack.

In the 12 months since the horrific bombing which left 23 people dead, the police, fire and ambulance services have worked to ensure they can provide the best possible response to any future incident.

Their work appears even more important as the news continues to highlight the increasing lack of money and resources made available for public services.

But now the spotlight has been turned on the venues themselves.

Anyone who has been to the arena since the terrible events of last year will notice the difference on entering the building.

Now, anyone attending an event has to travel through several layers of security, with barriers in place around all entrances and staff checking bags and actively turning people away who fail to comply with their standards.

Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says these measures are the sort of thing that should be considered at venues across the country.

He has thrown his support behind the campaign of the family of attack victim Martyn Hett, who want more to be done by individual venues.

A standardised approach to this, like the one that Mr Burnham advises could change the experience of concert-goers across the country but would ultimately make things safer and help to prevent future tragedies.
