What the petition asks
In light of the continuing threat from coronavirus and the NHS being underfunded, it seems sensible to put money budgeted for the fireworks display towards helping the NHS.
In light of the continuing threat from coronavirus and the NHS being underfunded, it seems sensible to put money budgeted for the new years eve fireworks display towards helping the NHS. We appear to be making cuts but not necessarily in the right places.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Fireworks displays are a matter for the local council. In the case of London fireworks, this would be a matter for the Mayor of London.
