Closed Change the age to 25 for the sale of Fireworks

Closed on

If the law was to change to make it illegal to sell to anyone under 25, I'm confident the constant noise on non celebrating days (Fireworks nt, Diwali & New Year's Eve) would dwindle away. Fireworks started 22/10 until 10/12 & back again 24/12 in Dagenham. They're a nuisance especially to Pets.

How many reports have we seen this year alone about children being injured by other children launching fireworks at them? As usual to many.
Why are supermarkets allowed to advertise "sales" on Fireworks from 7/11/16?
In this day & age why can't fireworks be made to make minimal noise?
