Stop the sale of any fireworks that make a noise to members of the public.
Traditions and celebrations in this country are so too often squashed and the celebration of Guy Fawkes and the 5th of November should continue, however is it necessary for fireworks to make such loud bangs.
If silent fireworks are on sale to the general public they could be used anytime of the Year Without causing distress and alarm to PTSD veterans pets and people with autism and disabilities. This would allow us to celebrate Diwali Guy Fawkes weddings and other such occasions without causing disruption in the local area.
