We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Ban from public sale certain fireworks for garden use
Ban from public sale fireworks for garden use which:
1. Only create a noise (without a light display),
2. Feature an explosion(s) exceeding 65db, or
3. Require an explosion(s) exceeding 65db to function.
More details
This is to be measured from ground level within a 200m circumference from the explosion.
Firework noise can be particularly distressing for those with Alzheimer’s, with impacts lasting long after the fireworks have finished.
Unlike other petitions I am not calling for a ban on the sale of fireworks because firstly I think that call is likely to fail and secondly I see no problem with individuals celebrating traditions. But I want to return to pleasant displays.
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
