This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition Increase the purchase age of fireworks and restrict use to organised events.

There are far too many kids using fireworks in streets and parks, even posting them through letterboxes causing harm and damage to people and their lives. This needs to stop and fireworks need to be treated and sold like the dangerous explosive items they are.

More details

Allow fireworks to organised events or licensed people which can be obtained through the police.
