Ban the use of solid fuel/ wood burning stoves in residential areas
The UK ranks 101 out of 131 countries in terms of poor air quality (ranked from worst to best) according to the latest World Air Quality report in 2022. Domestic wood-burning is the biggest source of fine particle air pollution in the UK, contributing significantly to overall pollution.

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.
Ban both private and public use of fireworks & replace with cleaner alternatives
Ban the sale and use of fireworks at public and private events. Instead, allow organised eco-friendly displays like drone shows, as adopted in countries such as the Netherlands.
Daily bonfires creating smoke pollution in residential area
Multiple neighbours are lighting bonfires daily, creating acrid smoke that pollutes neighbouring gardens and washing. Traditional courtesy guidelines about bonfire timing are not being observed.
Ban the use of netting on roofs and outdoor structures
Thousands of birds are reported to get trapped in netting yearly, and many may die in pain and fear from the horrific injuries sustained trying to free themselves e.g. breaking their entangled limbs. Others may die of dehydration and starvation and rescuers are too late.
Set national planning rules to ban incinerators near facilities for children
We are calling on the Government to introduce national planning safeguards that prevent waste and clinical waste incinerators being built within a specific distance from schools, nurseries, and playgrounds.
