Many Swansea residents woke up to multiple loud "bangs" in the early hours of this morning - after fireworks were set-off at around 2.45am. It's understood the fireworks were released in a garden or field in the Townhill area - but residents in Brynhyfryd, Gendros and Cwmbwrla, and a handful of residents as far as St Thomas on the other side of the city, said they also heard them.
Countless locals have taken to social media to raise concerns about the loud bangs and how "frightening" it was for many people, especially the elderly. One resident who heard the bangs recalled: "It was in Townhill on the field by Gwent Road - it woke me and my baby up. I thought it was a dream I was so tired!"
"I could see the smoke from Brynhyfryd!" added another local resident. "Ridiculous when you got to get up at 6am, these people will be sleeping all day!"
