This was amidst reports that fireworks continued to create both a further safety risk and a noise nuisance until 11pm, despite what had gone before it.

Thankfully nobody was injured in the incident but the Motherwell Times has since learned that good hearted neighbours have rallied round to arrange an online collection to help the victims repair the damage
