Arrived home tired from a long day but with a huge smile on my face. I listened to some very determined MPs, speaking on behalf of YOU!.
I hope that when you listen/watch this debate you will come to realise just how important it is to write to your MP. If they don't get overwhelming amounts of correspondence they won't see it as an issue. No matter how hard I campaign. So please let them know how fireworks affect you and yours. You will likely get a standard response, you can challenge that if you want or accept it.. I would challenge it.
While we are deciding our next steps as FAB firework abatement campaign, I would ask that you write to your MP and either, thank them for attending (list attached at bottom) OR, ask them why they didn't, especially as there is such a massive groundswell of public concern. The government petition reached close to 300k (in 4 weeks) and we have over 360k......
Signatures on both petitions still worth obtaining so please carry on asking people to sign. We still have Christmas (that well known firework holiday!) and New Year to go, so if we can spread the word we should make the 500,000. This may give us a chance to interact with government once more.
Just one more thing, The Scottish Government are really hot on this at the moment. Please send your support (we can't only write to moan at them).
Signatures still being taken on both petitions. it would really show them if we could get 500k on each by mid January. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/231147
