Rejected petition Make it illegal to sell the loud mortar bomb style fireworks.

Every year there are many fireworks being let off in gardens etc, but I am calling for the Government to make it illegal to sell the loud mortar bomb style fireworks.

These are so loud and cause countless stress to men, women and pets alike. There is no need for these type of fireworks.

More details

These loud mortar bomb style fireworks need to be removed from public sale.
They affect many walks of life, from war veterans to the average person and of course, not forgetting our beloved pets, who are stressed at fireworks anyway, but these extra loud ones can, and do cause more than stress, it even causes death.
Please can I ask that you make it so these type of fireworks are only for licensed displays & must show a permit before being able to buy them
