THE Scottish Greens have branded 2024 a year “marred by firework chaos” and have renewed calls for a ban. 

Scottish councils were given powers this year to designate firework control zones in problem areas.

But in Edinburgh — the only city to use the power — there were still 32 arrests on firework-related offences.
