A MOTHER has claimed that a firework went “shooting” over her daughter’s head in a village in the Moorlands on Thursday afternoon (February 27). The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Times and Echo that the incident occurred in Blythe Bridge between 3pm and 3.15pm with her daughter calling her in distress over what had happened while others were being set off. She stated that the route her daughter was walking at the time was down Cheadle Road and then near Tesco Express, located on Uttoxeter Road.
