My poor old retriever is a wreck & is even scared to go out day or night & she loved her walks. I'm also a nurse & my lovely elderly residents are terrified & the poor souls with Dementia thinks it's bombs to attack them & they are terrified - fireworks often come into both my garden at home & in the a Nursing home terrifying not only residents with Dementia but also ones who do have mental capacity. In this day & age of terrorism surely it's time to. Ban all fireworks with loud explosions. Why can't they make quiet fireworks in an organised display for all to enjoy - I want to take this to the top & I need guidance from some people on here who can advise me. If we get 100000 signatures doesn't the Prime administer have to listen & accept the petition & hopefully BAN loud bomb type fireworks. I'm no " party pooper" nor do I want to spoil anyone's fun but much more control is a MUST NOW WITH ALL THE THREAT OF TERRORISM ETC IN THE WORLD as at times these fireworks are like huge bombs - so please can we all form a committee & try & have some legislation in place before next year.

What will it take before the sale of fireworks to the general public is banned.
