Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public and make the silent

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Year after year local communities suffer from anti social behaviour from wrongly used fireworks. PTSD sufferers, wildlife and the elderly also struggle from the noise and sounds they create. We should all now put an end once and for all and make fireworks only available to organised events.
