(BBC) Clubs and venues in Manchester will be asked to adopt new anti-terror measures following a campaign by the mother of arena bomb victim Martyn Hett.
The 29-year-old was one of 22 people killed in the suicide bombing in 2017.
His mother Figen Murray has been lobbying the government to bring in Martyn’s Law, which would see venues make tougher security checks.
Manchester City Council is aiming to be the first to bring in the changes by adopting new licensing rules.
Ms Murray said: “I am absolutely over the moon with [the council] because obviously it is not a legal requirement yet — they have said voluntarily they are going to kick-start it.”
