Hosts in Scotland are warned about council rules regarding noise, fireworks, and bonfires during Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Scots hosting Christmas and New Year's parties this festive season could face fines if they don't follow council rules. Party hosts are being advised to check with their local authorities on rules regarding noise, fireworks and bonfires. Making too much noise past 11pm could result in a complaint from neighbours and a fine of £110 if the noise isn’t lowered after being issued a warning.
Fireworks should not be set off between the hours of 11pm and 7am however, on New Year's Eve the cut-off time is extended to 1am. The extension however does not apply to Christmas Day. Sam Stevens from Pergolux UK said: “A lot of people will be getting ready to host Christmas and New Year's parties over the coming weeks. It’s a great time to get together with family and friends and have some fun! “For those who are hosting, it’s really important to familiarise yourself with some standard rules and regulations that could land you into trouble, cutting the festive fun short. It’s also important to be mindful that you’re not heavily disturbing your neighbours!
