Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles (Scotland) Act 2022

We are notifying members of the public that an area within Pollokshields has been officially designated as a Firework Control Zone which will take effect from 1 November 2025 until 10 November 2025.

The designation of Pollokshields as a Firework Control Zone (FCZ) is part of efforts to ensure public safety, reduce disturbance, and protect vulnerable individuals and animals from the adverse effects of fireworks.

As a result of public consultation, the original application proposal was amended taking into account the views expressed during the consultation process.

Further information to follow, with more detailed information on the boundary lines. The map indicates the area which will form the Pollokshields Firework control Zone for the agreed period.

Reporting

Call Police Scotland on 101 to make a complaint about antisocial behaviour related to fireworks.

Once a FCZ has been designated, the responsibility for enforcing offences under the Act falls to Police Scotland.
