What the petition asks
This New Year Eve 1.8 million pounds were spent on fireworks that lasted 20 minutes. This money would be better being donated to homeless shelters and charities for this is the true meaning of Christmas
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We're not sure which fireworks you're referring to. If you are concerned about the cost of the New Year's Eve fireworks display in London, that's the responsibility of the London Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament.
