This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Councillor Jon Molyneux:- "Council recalls its previous decisions supporting increased regulation of fireworks and their misuse, noting in particular their impact on pets and other animals, people with sensory disorders, people dealing with anxiety and certain kinds of trauma, older people, and other vulnerable groups, as well as the impact that the misuse of fireworks has on over-stretched emergency and council services, who work hard to keep people safe. Council welcomes the new powers available to it to designate certain areas as Fireworks Control Zones (FCZ), in which it becomes an offence to let off fireworks at agreed times, other than at organised displays or in other exempted circumstances. Council further welcomes the interest shown by some communities in using these powers locally and highlights the 12 June deadline for such community requests to be made in time for 5 November this year. Council notes that the guidance provided for councils to designate areas as FCZs says that the measures "have not been designed … to cover a whole local authority area, or to cover extensive parts of a local authority area" however also notes that the legislation "does not set out any minimum or maximum geographic size or area that can be covered by a firework control zone, or the cumulative area that a local authority may designate as a firework control zone(s) within its boundaries". Council recognises that the types of groups most likely to be adversely affected by fireworks are dispersed across the population and not confined to one or more areas. Council also considers there is a risk that that smaller, localised FCZs may displace problems to other areas. Council therefore believes there is a case for developing a FCZ covering the entire Glasgow city area. Council understands that it would need to be able to evidence this as being necessary and proportionate. Council therefore instructs the Executive Director for Neighbourhoods, Regeneration and Sustainability, in developing proposals for consultation, to consider whether there is evidence to support a whole council area approach being taken, and to consult with Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, and charities including Dogs Trust, Blue Cross, Cat Protection League, PDSA, Guide Dogs Scotland, Sight Scotland, OneKind, Age Scotland, Autism Scotland, and groups representing veterans and others likely to have experienced trauma on this proposal. Council considers that restrictions on public sales will be the most effective means of reducing fireworks-related harms, and therefore instructs the Chief Executive to write (i) to the Scottish Government urging it to accelerate progress on implementation of new Licensing powers and (ii) to the UK Government, urging it to use its overarching powers to end the general public sale of most categories of fireworks. Council also reiterates its support for organised public fireworks displays and calls on Glasgow Life to reconsider its indefinite suspension of a large-scale organised display at Glasgow Green.".
