Concerns have been raised over the usage of fireworks and bangers being let off in Derry communities.
Sinn Féin councillor Aisling Hutton said the usage of the fireworks have caused misery and fear among local residents and their pets in the Bogside and Brandywell areas of the city.
Cllr Hutton said: "It’s just a few weeks until the Halloween season begins and already we have been receiving complaints over the past few nights about fireworks and bangers being let off in the Bogside and Brandywell. It is also causing misery and fear for local residents and family pets.
“A lot of positive work has taken place in Derry over the last number of years to deal with the issue of selling illegal fireworks. And the availability of these dangerous items has been reduced. But sadly, there are those out there who have no regard for the local community and continue to be involved in this illegal trade.
“I call on those who are engaged in this type of activity to stop and reflect on how their actions can cause serious injuries and harm."
