Shawlands & Strathbungo Community Council would like to consult the community on whether a Fireworks Control Zone (FCZ) would be appropriate for the Shawlands area from mid-October to mid-November 2024. As a community council we seek to represent the balanced views of the entire community so we have tried to use balanced language. We recognise that people enjoy fireworks, some are neutral and others dislike them. We also recognise that problems are caused by a very small minority of people and there could be a perception of cancel culture.
A FCZ prohibits the use of fireworks within the zone area, even on private property. The community does not have the power to create a FCZ but must apply to Glasgow City Council who will then, following a full public consultation, make the decision.
