DONT Ban firework sales to the public to only allow Displays for licensed venue
There is currently a petition to ban the sale of fireworks to the public for garden use etc & only allow licensed displays.
The current petition contains many sweeping unsupported comments.
Fireworks used responsibly give pleasure and excitement to millions of people, adults & children alike.
They have been used to mark the failure of Guy Fawkes for over 400 years.
Families also use them to mark other milestones, 18th or 21st birthdays Diwali, New Year’s Eve & Chinese New Year.
Retailers selling to underage children shouldn’t bring a ban to people who want to use fireworks responsibly
A report in the Guardian Newspaper says the UK fireworks industry was worth £40m in 2013 split equally between consumer and professional displays
