Silent only fireworks on sale in the UK
Limit the sale of fireworks that emit noise to those holding organised displays, allow noise free fireworks ONLY to be sold to the general public
Many people and animals suffer discomfort and sometimes terror during the weeks leading up to and the weeks beyond bonfire night. Each and every year they seem to get louder and the period of time they are used extends, by removing the sound, you are creating a better environment for all, human, domestic pets, agricultural animals and wildlife.
