Background
Private use of fireworks causes distress to people, pets, livestock and wildlife, and leads to injuries, fires and antisocial behaviour. Fireworks are often set off without warning, making it impossible for people and animals to prepare.
By putting restrictions in place, these changes would help protect communities, reduce harm, and ensure fireworks are used safely and responsibly.
