Closed Ban all fireworks for good!

Closed on

Fireworks are not only stressful for pets and wildlife, but an outdated method of celebration that are dangerous and can cause serious harm. Ban them from the UK so we can stop the terror they cause.

The effects of fireworks are long standing, I personally have to use sedation on my dogs from weeks up to bonfire night, to months after, as they are terrorised by the loud bangs around the area.

I am seeing more and more reports of fireworks being thrown at people to cause harm too, which is in effect a terror attack.

We shouldn't have to blow things up to celebrate, so please ban these horrible fireworks asap and prevent all of the negative effects that come with them.

    Petitions Committee report

    The Petitions Committee has been looking into fireworks after so many people in recent years have signed petitions calling for greater restrictions on their sale and use by the general public. The Committee has heard from people and organisations on all sides of the argument about fireworks.

    The Committee's inquiry has now finished and we thought you'd be interested to know that its report, with recommendations to the Government, will be published on Tuesday 5 November.

    A link to the report will go live on the Committee's fireworks inquiry webpage from 00.01 hours on Tuesday 5 November:
