HOW I wholeheartedly agree with the letter from G Alderson re fireworks (November 16). It really is nothing short of anti-social behaviour.

The new laws do not appear to cover the louts who still set them off not only in the evening but in broad daylight. The only answer must be a total ban on the general public or the shops not selling them after November 5 and preferably only a week prior.

Mrs J McDonald,
