What the petition asks
I would like to request request the introduction of a permit system for use of fireworks in domestic situations. A total ban is unfair on the many sensible users, but he affect on animals, domestic and wild, and vulnerable people is now greater than be considered fair.
The modern "firework season" lasts for a week or more. What constitutes a domestic firework has changed drastically with many being what would previously have been considered display fireworks. Therefore I would like to request;
1) A permit system for domestic firework displays
2) Home firework displays limited to certain times on bonfire weekend & New Year's eve.
3) Stricter controls on fireworks for sale to the general public.
4) Increase legal age for the purchase of fireworks to 25.
