Firework Campaign
@fireworkreform
Campaigning since 2013 for people and animals, asking the government to 'regulate and license the use of fireworks.'
1/3 Our 2024 petition was debated on 09/12/2024 along with the 2023 petition. It’s a long debate as so many MPs spoke in favour of reform – Link to transcript and video here: fireworkcampaign.com/2024/12/14/pet…
This is seriously something no living thing needs, it’s bad enough keeping our animals in after dark, now this. What’s in the smoke? Surely this is an environmental disaster. Ban these before they get popular @Keir_Starmer
These fireworks are designed for the daytime 🎇
If you’re thinking about setting off fireworks, think about your neighbours first. Human or animal, there’s always someone or something that will be adversely affected by your “fun”. In this case it’s an @DogsTrust dogs home. glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/25220188.…
'Reckless' Newtown teen accidentally shot firework at dog - there’s never been a headline that encapsulates the essence of our campaign to change firework legislation better! Please @Keir_Starmer look at the evidence. countytimes.co.uk/news/25213953.…
This is a good idea, fireworks are too readily available to the public and as we’ve reported they’ve been regularly used as weapons and articles of terror for people & animals up and down the country @asda @AldiUK edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh…
Using fireworks to terrorise and kill is the ultimate evidence current legislation is totally inadequate @Keir_Starmer metro.co.uk/2025/06/02/tee…
Another excellent reason not to buy fireworks-carbon footprint and unethical production not to mention unethical country.
Fireworks in China are going to the next level. 90% of all the world's fireworks are made in China.
Over three weekends!! All this does is encourage the extended use of fireworks for everything & anything all through the year! Forcing local people to have to stay in & sedate pets for 3 weekends & for PTSD sufferers to be triggered for 3 weekends!!!
“No criminality has been identified” say the police. Last time we looked, setting off a firework in the street was an offence. What’s the point of laws if you don’t enforce them @ThamesVP ? uk.news.yahoo.com/man-ignited-fi…
You’ve got to feel for the vulnerable people and animals of Blackpool, subjected to this nonsense. Do we really need a World Firework Championship? blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/people/da…
Do we really want #fireworks freely available so unscrupulous people can use them to intimidate or WORSE? #fireworklawchange metro.co.uk/2025/05/21/man…
This new weaponising of fireworks is reason enough to put stronger controls in place on their use and sale. We’ve seen some horrific examples of this lately, its time for #fireworklawchange news.stv.tv/west-central/f…
There must be a way of preventing these yobs from getting fireworks to set off randomly and dangerously on 22nd March. There is: licensed displays only during a defined time frame. #fireworklawchange uk.news.yahoo.com/safety-risk-yo…
“A free fireworks display could return to Glasgow after councillors agreed to look at investing £100k into the project.” @GlasgowCC did you consider vulnerable people, pets, wildlife & the environment in this decision? £100k could be spent more ethically! news.stv.tv/west-central/f…
Demonstrating the destructive and killing power of fireworks - Fireworks factory explosion in Spain: Owner killed with four others injured including his son - Olive Press News Spain. Is it worth the loss of life firework fans? theolivepress.es/spain-news/202…
85% of residents in West Lothian want the sale of [fireworks] banned entirely. 232 of 272 people who responded to a recent survey have had enough as MP @gregorpoynton calls for more to be done about anti social fireworks. #fireworklawchange @JohnSwinney dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-new…
There’s a disappointing delay in #fireworklawchange on the Island of Jersey but the political will exists to get it done following successful petitions and debate. @Keir_Starmer please take note! jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2025/03/0…
Few of us see what actually happens when wildlife is spooked by fireworks-the panicked flight, the lost meal, the abandoned young, all for the “entertainment” of selfish humans. #fireworklawchange
Fireworks last night somewhere near Richmond Park - I was watching a Little Owl happily dashing about pulling up worms & he was spooked by a distant bang & flew off in panic #banfireworks #thermalsurvey
Meanwhile in Glasgow the city council are proposing to use up cash in the hospitality budget on a firework display. Don’t you have any homeless folk to house or potholes to fill? @glasgowCC #fireworklawchange glasgowworld.com/news/fireworks…
Another council ignoring the evidence & organising a firework display to celebrate an event, this time St David’s Day in the aptly named Bangor, N Wales. Did the organisers stop to think about vulnerable people & animals in their city? #fireworklawchange northwaleschronicle.co.uk/news/24959958.…
