Reduce the decibel limit on fireworks to 85 decibels, to reduce impact

Closed 2,057 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to reduce the noise limit for fireworks to limit the impact fireworks have on people and animals nearby. We believe current limits are not adequate.
Many people enjoy the sight of firework displays but suffer from the excessive noise, eg autistic people, people with tinnitus, veterans suffering from PTSD, as well as pet animals such as horses and dogs and farm animals. The firework displays would have less of an impact if they were quieter.
