A firework test purchase scheme has been launched by Trading Standards across South Lanarkshire for the next two weeks.
The team will be carrying out undercover test purchases in nearly 50 premises that are now registered to sell fireworks in the area around November 5.Councillor Robert Brown , chair of the community and enterprise resources said: “We are very encouraged by the responsible stance taken by our retailers in past years in not selling fireworks to under-18s, and we want to make sure that continues.
Visits will take place at various times of the day and evening across the range of retail premises on the register. The scheme is designed to boost consumer safety and tackle anti-social behaviour by enforcing both the age restriction for sales and the period in which fireworks can be purchased which is between 7am and 6pm.
