Petition · past parliament

Make a law so only a licence holder of an organised display can buy fireworks.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

There are so many accidents involving the general public who have purchased fireworks. Teenagers and young children get hold of them and end up in A & E or causing cruelty to animals or other members of the public and people's property.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Ban the sale of fireworks to the public and have only licensed displays.
