Stop High Powered 1.3g Fireworks being sold to retailers in the UK
Growing trends have seen a big growth in the sales of higher powered 1.3g retail fireworks, most of these type of products are dangerous and very noisy, totally unsuitable for the places where general public use them. If this was stopped most of the noise & safety issues would be dealt with.

Require fireworks to be sold only through the fire service with registration
Require consumer fireworks to be sold only through the fire service, with purchasers registering in advance using valid photo ID. Profits from these sales should go towards support for firefighters and their families.
Do not ban fireworks - make them available to purchase from age 21
Fireworks should not be banned from being sold to the general public (as a petition currently suggests). We think they should be available to buy for anyone over the age of 21.
Reduce the maximum noise level for consumer fireworks from 120 to 90 decibels
We think each year, individuals suffer because of loud fireworks. We believe horses, dogs, cats, livestock and wildlife can be terrified by noisy fireworks and many people find them intolerable.
Ban the sale and use of indoor fireworks
We call on the UK Government to ban the sale and use of indoor fireworks. Although classified as F1, they emit flames and sparks that can pose a serious fire risk in enclosed spaces. We believe a ban would help prevent avoidable fires and reduce pressure on fire and rescue services.
