Fireworks could be banned from gardens in Scotland under plans to limit noise impact
14.02.2022 - 13:55 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Bold proposals could hand Scottish councils the power to ban most types of fireworks in back gardens.
Scottish Government plans to restrict the public's use of fireworks are set to be discussed by MSPs on the criminal justice committee.
The proposed measures would enable councils to create "control zones", where most types of fireworks would not be allowed, even on private land.
And the proposals could also see the dates fireworks can be sold limited to just 37 days a year, with dates surrounding major events such as Bonfire Night, Hogmanay and Diwali.
Dates on when Scots can light fireworks would also be restricted, anyone using affected types of fireworks would need special training as well as a fireworks licence, and Police Scotland would be handed new powers to search for and seize fireworks.
SNP MSP Audrey Nicoll said: "We know for many people and communities, fireworks are a dangerous nuisance - though we know some families enjoy them safely.
"As a committee, we will be examining whether the Scottish Government's plans strike the right balance, and are likely to be effective in reducing misuse of fireworks."
The Criminal Justice Committee is now asking Scots to come forward with their views, with an online survey running until March 11 about the new Bill.
The results will then be used to inform committee members, the Scottish Government said, as they consider whether the proposals should be changed in any way, and ultimately passed into law.
The lowest category firework, F1, would not be affected by the proposals. These include products such as small sparklers, ice fountains and party poppers.
But the proposals will see more powerful fireworks, in categories F2 and F3, have their use and availability restricted.
