Fireworks and Pyrotechnics – Have Your Say

Fireworks play a big part in many of our favourite celebrations, but they can also bring real challenges for our communities. From sudden, loud bangs that terrify pets and livestock, to the distress caused to vulnerable neighbours or issues with anti-social behaviour, many of us have experienced the darker side of firework season. To address these growing concerns while still allowing everyone to celebrate safely, the UK government has launched a public consultation on updating the rules around fireworks and pyrotechnics.

This is your chance to help shape future laws across the UK. The proposals look at restricting the loudest fireworks, so they are only available to trained professionals, banning high-risk products, and modernising rules for low-risk novelty items. Whether you love local displays, worry about animal welfare, work in public safety, or run a business, your real-world experience matters. Have your say today by taking a few minutes to complete the online consultation.
