Councils have the power to set Firework Control Zones during specified periods. So Glasgow's ban would cover Pollokshields from 1-10 November — it does not impact the whole city.
However, GCC is starting a consultation on a whole city ban (although, when Edinburgh suggested this, ministers said they would challenge it, and Police and Fire services said it would be difficult to enforce).

>The firework control zone (FCZ) will cover Pollokshields – an area that has faced the most serious firework-related anti-social behaviour, according to the council.
>It will take effect from 1-10 November covering both public and private spaces such as gardens. Anyone setting off a private firework during this period will be committing a criminal offence.

>The Scottish government gave local authorities new powers to designate FCZs in 2022 following a major riot in Dundee. The rules are enforced by Police Scotland.
>Last month Edinburgh became the first Scottish local authority to approve a FCZ in Niddrie, Balerno, Seafield and Calton Hill following “unprecedented levels of violence” in previous years.
