Scottish Fairs Fight Bureaucracy | Edinburgh News
Description
Scottish Parliament members are rallying to save beloved community fairs and galas, as organizers across the country—including Edinburgh’s Corstorphine Fair—face crushing bureaucratic hurdles, rising costs, and inconsistent regulations that threaten these volunteer-run events. After last-minute licensing chaos derailed Corstorphine’s plans, the movement gained momentum, with politicians like Q Manivannan and Alex Cole-Hamilton backing the cause, calling for a government review to ease the burden on volunteers who give their all for local communities. The petition demands a smarter, more proportionate system that honors the spirit of community over rigid rules.
