Residents of Notting Hill were today seen putting up barricades to protect their multi-million pound properties from the one million revellers expected to descend upon London's street this weekend. As preparations were underway for the annual street event that will take place over the bank holiday weekend, police were pictured searching the area. 'It's disgusting when you come to take it down but the council do clean it up pretty quick. Behaviour experts will also be at the event to recognise violence to try and protect the large crowds. Roughly 6,000 police officers, including a newly-formed violent crime task force, will patrol the streets after 300 people were arrested at last year's Carnival.
