At certain festivities they can be let of until 1am!\r\n\r\nFireworks disturbs peace, makes dogs, cats & other animals terrified out of their wits & awakens children & frightens the elderly.\r\n\r\nAll of this is dependent on people being responsible & abiding by current laws, but as we know, a minority has no respect for law and flout it when it pleases them.\r\n\r\nAt very least we should have similar law to Norway & Germany where it is an offence to sell fireworks anytime before 1 week to Guy Fawkes night.\r\n\r\nIf you feel society would benefit from a sensible approach to fireworks I would urge you to sign the petition so we may lobby MPs/Parliament to make a change to the current law.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":80,"created_at":"2014-07-01T21:50:38.000Z","updated_at":"2017-06-21T15:15:44.299Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2014-07-14T06:41:39.000Z","closed_at":"2015-03-30T22:59:59.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2014-07-01T21:50:38.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[],"signatures_by_constituency":[],"signatures_by_region":[],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
