Edinburgh Evening News
|October 30, 2025
A number of measures will come into force this week to help police tackle antisocial behaviour over the Bonfire Night period.
Violence and disorder broke out in Edinburgh last Bonfire Night season
Dispersal zones will be in effect across 14 areas of the city between tomorrow and Wednesday, November 5, to help prevent the kind of violent crimes the city has seen in recent years and to keep communities safe.
Additional officers equipped with Body Worn Video will also be on patrol and may be placed on some Lothian Buses services.
