Opened the debate
The Bill aims to regulate the noise levels of fireworks sold to the public, requiring clear labelling about noise levels, granting local authorities power to regulate use in certain circumstances, and mandating a review of firework impact on veterans, neurodivergent individuals, people with specific medical conditions, and animals. It highlights that current rules are insufficient to address concerns such as late-night fireworks causing distress to children, elderly residents, pets, and those with health issues.

The Bill proposes setting a maximum noise limit for fireworks sold to the public, requiring clear labelling of noise levels, granting local authorities power to introduce targeted rules in problem areas, enabling councils to issue civil penalties similar to littering or fly-tipping enforcement, and mandating a review of firework impact on specified groups. It emphasises public health concerns, animal welfare impacts, and support for stricter regulations based on research findings.
