Scotland’s biggest council area is set to ban people from letting off fireworks at home. At least 12 areas in Glasgow are set to be first in line for a pyrotechnic ban. Shawlands, Dennistoun, Toryglen, Woodlands, and Pollokshields are among neighbourhoods where applications to establish firework control zones have been submitted to Glasgow City Council. We as the council will oversee the process which will facilitate the designation of Firework Control Zones within the city. However, Edinburgh City Council has previously warned that even with FCSs in place, it "would not have prevented the extent of attacks on police".
