This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It requests action at a local level.

Also possibly a devolved issue - and there is a petition already open on banning private use/ownership of fireworks more generally:

Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only

And there will be a debate in Westminster Hall on the above petition at 4.30pm on Monday 19 January.

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