Bonfire Safety

Conwy Community Safety Partnership, which includes Conwy County Borough Council, Trading Standards, the Probation Service, North Wales Fire & Rescue Service and North Wales Police, is working to make Bonfire Night a safer time for everyone.

Fireworks
Retailers must submit an application to the Council for permission to store and sell fireworks and premises are inspected to make sure retailers are adhering to the standards. After 10th November all retailers must stop selling fireworks and store them correctly.

Bonfires
Every year, in the days leading up to the 5th November, communities are plagued by unwanted, unauthorised and dangerous bonfires.

To increase safety around Bonfire Night Conwy Community Safety Partnership is running a special campaign to dismantle and remove all unauthorised bonfires on public land.

No-one wants to spoil Bonfire Night fun for youngsters, but everyone should be aware of the dangers and cost associated with lighting bonfires illegally.

Residents can report unauthorised bonfires by telephoning:  01492 575337 (during normal office hours) or 01492 515777 (out of hours).
