****We are very sorry that the firework control zone for Pollokshields cannot go ahead as we had hoped for this year's Bonfire Night. The legal notice needed to create the zone was not issued in enough time to ensure it can come into effect as planned for between November 1 and November 10. Unfortunately this means the zone will not be legally enforceable during this time and implementation of the zone will now be deferred until next year. We have written directly to the members of the Pollokshields community who applied to have a firework control zone for their area and apologised for the disappointment this development will cause. We are working with our partners in the emergency services to address the community safety concerns that have been expressed about Bonfire Night in Pollokshields and other parts of the city. ****
