Celebrating with fireworks Safely

Good afternoon, 

Fireworks are exciting, but a criminal record isn't.

Fireworks can be used in the UK any time from 7am to 11pm. Exceptions are Bonfire night: 7am to midnight New Year's Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year: 7am to 1am. 

You'll see more officers out on patrol around antisocial behaviour hot spot areas. If you spot anyone misusing fireworks or aiming them at buildings, people, or vehicles, report it to us on 999.
