Rejected petition Ban non-silent fireworks

To ban the sale and use of non-silent fireworks

More details

Current fireworks cause widespread distress to some of our most vulnerable inhabitants including domestic pets, wildlife and those suffering from mental health illness.

The noise also causes unnecessary distractions to individuals such as drivers which increases risk of damage to wider society and infrastructure.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you're concerned about the noise caused by fireworks, however we're not sure exactly what decibel limit you'd like the Government or Parliament to impose. Fireworks marketed as 'silent' still produce some noise.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, or you may wish to sign this petition, which calls for similar action:

Reduce the maximum noise level for consumer fireworks from 120 to 90 decibels

Reduce the sound of fireworks to under 80 decibels for humans and animals
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/739674

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