No, it will not influence. L'Étape Bulgaria works in cooperation with the Municipality of Velingrad, the local and regional Police Department, the Emergency Service in the municipality, and the road services in the region, to ensure that the emergency services can reach points along the route of all phone calls 112. The Event Command Center on the day of the event will liaise with 112 to ensure that all emergencies are dealt with. If an emergency vehicle is delayed due to the event, L'Étape Bulgaria will send its nearest paramedics to the scene until the emergency ambulance arrives and takes over the case.

Processing local community feedback is an essential aspect of organizing events like L'Étape Bulgaria. 
We will encourage local community members to provide feedback by setting up a dedicated feedback channel, such as an email address or a feedback form on a website, and making it easy for people to share their thoughts and opinions.
We will consider the feedback received from the local community when making decisions about the event. This will help us to ensure that the event is organized in a way that takes into account the needs and concerns of the local community.
We will communicate the outcomes of feedback received from the local community, including any changes made to the event resulting from that feedback. This will build transparency and accountability and shows that the feedback has been taken seriously.
By following these steps, the organizers of L'Étape Bulgaria will process local community feedback effectively and use it to help create a positive and inclusive event that benefits everyone involved.
