'The sooner we get the powers to deal with this the better.'
The sooner Glasgow gets "the powers to ban fireworks the better”, a councillor has said, as they spoke about the problems they have caused local communities.
They included a restriction on the times of day fireworks can be used by the general public to between 6pm and 11pm, with the exception of November 5, when they can be used from 6pm until midnight, New Year’s Eve, the night of Chinese New Year and the night of Diwali -when they can be used from 6pm until 1am.
“My concern is that most of the fireworks that I have experienced that people buy online - some of them are about 6ft tall. Who is going to police these zones? She said: “I totally understand your question in relation to how the policing of these zones takes place in practical terms. I certainly don’t want to speak on behalf of another enforcement agency on what their operational plans would be for any given zones.
