Safe Fireworks

The motion

That the Parliament notes that, with the approach of bonfire night, fireworks will be set off other than at organised events; understands that annoyance, anxiety, alarm and distress will likely be caused to vulnerable people, pets and wildlife; notes that, currently, legislation restricts the sale of fireworks to set periods and that the law also dictates that fireworks must not be let off between 11pm and 7am, except bonfire night when the cut off is midnight, and on New Year’s Eve, Diwali and the Chinese New Year when the cut off is 1am; urges everyone to stop and think before setting off fireworks other than at community events and to report to the police anyone witnessed throwing or setting off fireworks in the street and behaving in an anti-social manner with fireworks, and believes that, by doing so, the forthcoming period can be enjoyed in a safe and secure environment.
