RANDOM FIREWORKS can be distressing and debilitating for many people and animals. We are again campaigning to ask the government to amend the regulations to make domestic firework use illegal except for the week around the 5th November, New Years Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year.
The successful petition and campaign by FAB led to a debate in Parliament on 6th June 2016. The petition and debate focused on animals. The televised debate can be seen here or read the Hansard report (the full transcript) links below.
During our first campaign it became apparent that many more people than we had first suspected were affected by random fireworks. With that in mind and following on from our success with regard to animals and fireworks we are now petitioning for a change with a people biased petition. Professional displays that are well managed with advance advertising are the way forward. Forewarning of such displays help people to organise and prepare. Random firework use, is neither advertised or well managed and causes problems.
We have now implemented stage 2 of our campaign, which focuses on people and the effect that fireworks have on them.
The reports follow on from stage 1 Petiton 109702

How you can help
We are now at Stage 2 of our campaign.
To help you could:
SIGN
We have multiple petitions, all set up as buttons so you can just click and sign! Each is to request a law change in a different way, by doing multiple methods we are hoping at least one of these will be approved by the government. The Organised Events Only petition is running until April 2017, and is already nearing its target to be debated!
With the Silent Firework petition there isn't an expiry date, which gives us the opportunity to gather more signatures. Please sign and share.
