What the petition asks

Stop the sale of fireworks to the general public
It’s 5th November and because organised public displays have been banned it seems every man and his dog have bought fireworks and it’s like living in a war zone.
Dogs are barking and I am at my wits end with all the noise.
It’s ridiculous. My mental health is fragile enough with what’s going on in England at the moment but I want to go out and scream at everyone. It’s driving me crazy.
