Simple terms explainer:
Councils can create Firework Control Zones in specific places within their area. This means they can restrict or ban the use of fireworks in those zones to help keep people safe, reduce noise and disturbance, and protect animals and vulnerable groups. Before making a zone, the council must consult with local communities and other relevant organisations to make sure the decision is fair and well-informed.
