'This behaviour has not only made us fearful for our safety but has also impacted our daily lives.'
Residents in a Co Antrim town have been left distressed following fireworks frequently being set off near their homes.
Speaking to Belfast Live, one resident said: "Since the evenings have grown darker over the past two months, we’ve witnessed almost nightly incidents where fireworks are set off close to our homes. What started as occasional noise has escalated into serious, hazardous behavior, with fireworks now being aimed directly at houses.
On the impact of such incidents, the resident said: "This behavior has not only made us fearful for our safety but has also impacted our daily lives. With fireworks now being set off as early as 5:30-6 pm, we no longer feel safe even walking our dog in the evenings. “People have the right to feel safe in their home and when they go about their business. We will continue to work alongside our partner agencies, local representatives and the community to address these issues.
