Dropping this to 90dB would effectively ban rockets and traditional displays, ruining the sensory experience the public expects. We believe such restrictions would devastate the industry and seasonal retailers. Instead of punishing responsible users, authorities should focus on enforcing existing laws against misuse. Since low-noise fireworks are already available, market choice should prevail over a restrictive blanket mandate.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":586,"closing_date":"2026-09-16","created_at":"2026-02-06T14:24:06.246Z","updated_at":"2026-09-08T08:54:30.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-03-16T16:01:56.316Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-02-07T01:08:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Kim Sherrard","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DBIST","name":"Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-and-trade"}],"topics":[]}},{"type":"petition","id":778958,"links":{"self":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/778958.json"},"attributes":{"action":"Ban indoor fireworks, sparklers and pyrotechnics in public venues","background":"We are concerned with the safety of fireworks, sparklers and pyrotechnics in public venues following recent mass casualty events in Europe.
