It would be helpful if you could check whether the Tattoo sticks to these times and let us know if the fireworks go on longer or there are more bursts than specified. If you find them distressing, you can complain directly to Dan Withall at the Tattoo Office email DanW@edintattoo.co.uk to try and have the amount reduced. There is no mention of the flypasts this year.

It would also be a great help if you let us have feedback at the end of the Tattoo so we can take issues up with the head of the Tattoo, Brigadier Allfrey. We plan to have regular meetings with him. If you would like to join these, let us know.

We also need to monitor other issues such as the length of time the stands are up and the impact of parking restrictions for the Tattoo buses on residents, if we are to secure improvements. All feedback welcome.
