Restrict the sale of fireworks to the public and only sell to lisenced premises.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Fireworks are too easily accessible to the general public. The range and variety sold are overkill for a good old fashioned back garden display. The misuse of fireworks is the most worrying issue. People throw them around, light them in unsafe public spaces and cause damage to people and properties.
