This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Rejected petition Make it compulsory to use only silent fireworks in the UK.

I'm sure the fireworks last night were louder than usual, they even made me jump! We all know some children are frightened by them, but we also should consider the wildlife affected by the noise and debris left behind afterward. I know silent fireworks are available, see post link below.
