Some big supermarkets are selling cheap fireworks. Already we hear them being set off. It is illegal to sell to people under 18 years of age so adults must be buying them and allowing them to be used.This is very disturbing to residents and terrifying for animals. Firework displays should be organised by professional people who would not use them in local neighbourhoods.

Sainsbury stopped selling fireworks altogether last year.

Aldi - Tesco - Lidl - Morrisons have online ads. Lets get these supermarkets to also stop selling them.

Here is the firework code

It is an offence to:

possess adult fireworks (all fireworks except category 1 fireworks - party poppers, sparklers, throwdowns etc.) in a public place by anyone under the age of 18;
possess category 4 fireworks (professional display fireworks) by anyone other than a fireworks professional;
it is illegal to supply adult fireworks to those under 18;
throw or cast or fire any firework in or into any highway, street, thoroughfare or public space (this would include throwing or firing from a private place into a public place, street, highway etc.);
to light any fire, or permit a fire to spread to, within 30 meters of a road which causes damage to the road or endangers road users.
to light a fire in a public place so as to endanger any other person or give them reasonable cause for alarm or annoyance or so as to endanger any property.

There is a curfew on the use of adult fireworks between 11pm and 7am, except on:
