CHILDREN learned about fireworks safety yesterday during a police visit.

Pupils at Mount Pleasant Primary School, Darlington, learned about the dangers of fireworks from police and Dolphin Centre staff.

A fireworks safety team has visited primary schools in the town throughout the week.

A Darlington Borough Council spokeswoman said: "It is really important in the run-up to Bonfire Night that children know just how dangerous fireworks can be. The talks are aimed at ensuring everybody has an enjoyable November 5."
