Calls have been made to allow councils to ban the use of fireworks in certain areas of Bolton other than at organised displays.
Bolton Council is set to debate the matter this week, with the authority also urged to support moves to create a new licensing system requiring people to have a license to buy and use fireworks and that businesses and shops will have to check if those buying pyrotechnics have a license.

She is asking the council to support legislation similar to recently introduced measures in Scotland.
