Dear Community Councils,

 

Significant preparations have been underway for the possibility of public disorder in the days leading up to and during the events surrounding Halloween and Bonfire Night.  This includes support from our partners,  Police Scotland, Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, Lothian Association of Youth Clubs, Scottish Fire and Rescue and Lothian Buses.

 

I have attached a copy of the presentation from Police Scotland that was recently shared at the Elected Member & Parliamentarian online briefing. I have also included some links below that may also be of interest:

 

• Fearless News | Crimestoppers
• We were delighted to support... - Police Scotland Edinburgh | Facebook

 

Please report any issues i.e. unauthorised fireworks sellers, or unauthorised bonfires/ firework displays via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or Police Scotland on 101. Further information on the Firework control zones is available on our website Residents can also contact their locality office team if they have concerns/ problems such as bonfires.

 

I hope this is helpful.  If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Regards

 

Veronica Wishart |  Senior Executive Assistant to Gareth Barwell, Corporate Director of Place |  City of Edinburgh Council  | Executive Services | Corporate Services  |  Customer and Digital Services |  Business Centre 2/6, 4 East Market Street | Edinburgh, EH8 8BG  |
