Million-Signature Petition Calls for Firework Regulations
Julie Doorne, a campaigner from Lincolnshire, is delivering a petition with over a million signatures to Downing Street, urging stricter regulations on fireworks. The petition, supported by the RSPCA, seeks to limit firework use to specific festivals and reduce noise levels. While popular among many, surveys reveal a significant portion of the public is open to alternative displays and stronger restrictions. The British Fireworks Association argues that these changes could harm celebrations and lead to a rise in illegal fireworks. Advocates stress the need for a balanced approach to ensure both enjoyment and safety.
