Edinburgh Tightens Firework Zones

Edinburgh’s rolling out five new firework control zones this Bonfire Night to keep celebrations safe and orderly, targeting areas like Wester Hailes and Lochend while reviving old zones and extending others—aiming to curb chaos, protect pets and vulnerable residents, and reduce the city’s fireworks traders from 33 to just two. Community events in controlled zones are already drawing crowds and cutting disorder, with even Edinburgh Zoo praising the results. With proposals for expansion—including a potential Gilmerton zone and even a city-wide option—officials are betting on targeted, manageable zones to strike the perfect balance between safety and practicality.
