Firework Control Zone - Citywide

Closed 23 Aug 2024

Opened 24 Jul 2024

Overview

We are considering putting in place Firework Control Zones in Edinburgh. 

Residents of Edinburgh have requested a Firework Control Zone to be put in place for the whole of the City of Edinburgh boundary area.  We would now like your views on this.

A Firework Control Zone will mean that certain fireworks will no longer be permitted to be set off in this area.

It will also be a crime under the Fireworks and Pyrotechnics Act Scotland 2022, enforceable by law, by which you can be arrested if you set off a firework in a Firework Control Zone.

Your response will contribute to the decision-making process.
