The safest way to celebrate Bonfire Night is at an organised event. If you are planning on buying fireworks, please ensure that you read the instructions provided to make sure the space you have is large enough to use them safely.
The Neighbourhood Watch Scotland team had a fantastic day at the Letham Hub in Perth on Tuesday 15th October, where they joined various organisations as part of Perth and Kinross council’s Community Support Showcase.
While many enjoy Bonfire Night, fireworks can be harmful if used incorrectly.
To help keep everyone safe firework restrictions are in place.
A few years ago the then Neighbourhood Watch (NW) Coordinator for my street, Denholm Road in Musselburgh, East Lothian, decided that they could no longer do the role. NW Scotland reached out to all the members of the Watch to see if any one of us was prepared to take on the role. As I didn’t want it it to fold and knowing it is a great scheme, I took it on.
About 4 years ago, due to several housebreakings in our street some neighbours decided our Street should join Neighbourhood Watch Scotland (NWS) and I became the NWS co-ordinator.
Exceptionally helpful and friendly NWS staff helped me with this process.
