RESIDENTS living near the RAF Fairford base have been issued with vehicle stickers to help ease their travel during the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) in July.

RIAT organisers, working alongside Fairford Town Council (FTC), have sent out two stickers per household alongside a newsletter regarding the air show.

The stickers do not “confer any specific rights of movement or access, it will allow, where possible, staff to facilitate your ease of travel” and “to highlight to the police staff that you are a local resident.”

The full newsletter states: “You should have received an allocation of RIAT 2016 residents’ vehicle stickers with this newsletter. A maximum of two stickers will be issued per household.

“For the system to work, the stickers must be limited to people living near RAF Fairford who are directly affected by our traffic routes. Please help us to help you in this respect.

“Please note that this sticker serves to assist the police and traffic officers in identifying you as a “Local Resident”. Whilst this does not confer any specific rights of movement or access, it will allow, where possible, staff to facilitate your ease of travel.

“Please display the ticket prominently in your windscreen to highlight to the police staff that you are a local resident.”

RIAT residents' vehicle stickers are also available to collect from the FTC office.

RIAT takes place July 8-10.
