Petition Action

Ban the Sale of Fireworks and Restrict Use to Licensed, Low-Noise Events.

Petition Details

Fireworks be available solely to licensed operators for use at approved events only.

Only low-noise or silent fireworks be permitted.

Local residents have the right to object to applications for displays based on noise, welfare, or environmental concerns.

Additional Information

This would reduce distress to animals, protect vulnerable individuals, minimise environmental damage, and improve public safety.

Existing regulations under the Fireworks Regulations 2004 do not sufficiently prevent misuse, noise pollution, and harm. Stronger controls are urgently needed.
