Government materials to help communicate change in fireworks law

The Scottish Government has created a printable A5 leaflet and A4 poster for Bonfire Night that highlight a change in the law regarding the legal purchasing of fireworks.

It is now illegal to buy or give fireworks to anyone under the age of 18. This is in addition to last year’s changes making it illegal to set fireworks off before 6pm.

The government plans to issue further guidance and campaign materials in due course.
