Ban fireworks in West Lothian due to increased of firework attacks

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to ban fireworks in West Lothian due to them being used inappropriately and used for racial attacks

This is due to the increase of fireworks being used for racial attacks and police not being able to stop it when called

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Also possibly a devolved issue - and there is a petition already open on banning private use/ownership of fireworks more generally:

Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only
Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only

And there will be a debate in Westminster Hall on the above petition at 4.30pm on Monday 19 January.
