Feedback updated 3 Sep 2026

We asked

We’d like to hear from communities about areas that are being considered for firework control zones (FCZ) this November. Your feedback will contribute to the decision-making process.

You said

There has been a consistent response within the consultation that the implementation of the Firework Control Zones would be of benefit and appreciated with the selected communities around the City of Edinburgh. There have been very few responses to go against the sentiment within the consultation.

We did

We have used the feedback to make an informed report which was used to inform the culture and communities committee when they were making the decision to Agree their implementation or to reject their implementation. From this the Culture and Communities Committee has agreed to implement all of the proposed zones that have been consulted on in 2026
