POLL: Would you support a ban on unlicensed fireworks displays? 

Social media was awash with appeals to find a missing dog who ran off following fireworks on Christmas Day.

Thankfully, the dog was later found, but not before its owners spent an anxious few hours searching.

The incident led some to suggest fireworks should be banned – or at least restricted to licensed events at certain times of the year.

Edinburgh council has already banned the use of fireworks in certain parts of the city around Bonfire Night.

It means anyone setting off a private firework between 1st and 10th November would be committing a criminal offence.

Several petitions have also gone before parliament calling for the sale and use of fireworks to be restricted to licence holders only.
