The success of Blackburn’ s unique approach to tackling Bonfire Night hooliganism has attracted the attention of MSPs who plan to visit the town.
Villagers first took a stand against firework thugs in 2019 and tactics included a basketball tournament. Now a Holyrood committee wants to meet the community involved.
Effective to the success of the scheme was the input of villagers themselves in backing the work of the emergency services and council and community workers.
