I URGE those people living in the Nursery Road, Prestwich, area who let off 'high explosives' rather than fireworks, to have a re-think before next year.

I was away that weekend but my sister, who was looking after my elderly cat, told me that he was beside himself with fear.When I got home, I discovered two holes in my conservatory roof, with a large firework casing alongside and others littering the garden. The whole roof will need to be replaced.

Thanks a bunch. It is time that such explosives were banned, other than at licensed displays.
