PARENTS have complained after children were woken up by yobs reportedly letting off fireworks in the early hours of the morning.

Families in Drumchapel claim large bangs woke them from their sleep around 2.30am yesterday and continued for several hours.

It's understood the devices were set off near Summerhill Park sparking outrage for residents in the surrounding area.

Speaking on the Drumchapel Life So Far page, one resident said: "[It] stressed my dog and also woke my 15-month baby ... if I find out who it was I will be reporting them because, not only is it inconsiderate and stupid, but it is illegal and took me over two hours to settle them both back down."

Another added: "It was terrible. Got work up around 1.30am and then around 3am."

While one wrote: "I was raging. I couldn't get back to sleep."

Several other social media users said they were concerned about the dangers fireworks could pose to pets.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has urged those wishing to enjoy Bonfire Night to attend public organised displays and insisted it is now illegal to set off the devices before 6pm and after 11pm except for certain holidays.

Councillor Paul Carey slammed the incident.

He said: "Once again, here we are with irresponsible people setting off fireworks through the day and night.

"The people of Glasgow and, indeed, the whole country are going to suffer this for the next few months ahead.

"It will not stop until we ban the private sale of fireworks and only allow them at official events."
