Rejected petition Turn the UK into a noiseless firework Country please.

Create a law that only noiseless fireworks are used in the UK

More details

These loud banger type fireworks affect ASD children, who have very sensitive hearing that actually hurt their ears when they go off unexpectedly,
terrifying them causing them great anxiety and also small children too.
It also affects animals badly where they either run off or turn into a dribbling mess.
People really are fed up of these loud bangers and the government really need to change the law to noiseless firework or banning them completely.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

While some fireworks are marketed as silent, these still make some noise. If you would like the Government to reduce the decibel limit to a specific level, you could start a new petition requesting this.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
