Scots should be aware of their local council's firework control zones to avoid hefty penalties
Scotland's laws on fireworks are to become a lot stricter from today, as they are now banned in certain areas.
Such areas could include public gardens, private properties or parks and will be decided by local authorities. However, public firework displays will still be allowed in these zones for safe enjoyment. Community safety minister Siobhan Brown said: “Evidence and engagement with communities shows strong public support for tougher action on fireworks, which along with other pyrotechnic articles can cause harm, serious injury and distress to people, pets and the wider community.
