The Government is now consulting on changing the law – including lowering the noise limit for the fireworks that the public can buy. I want our community’s experience and views to help shape these decisions.
Fireworks play a role in many celebrations and safe, well-organised displays bring the community together. We have many excellent ones locally.
At the same time, I also hear from fellow residents who are concerned for vulnerable loved ones, including those with PTSD, and pets. Some are experiencing the impact of loud fireworks going off outside their homes and outside of these shared moments.
I will collate all this local feedback and share it directly with the Government Minsters who will make the final decisions.
In addition to the ‘Coffee with Claire’ event I am holding on this in Stoke Gifford on Saturday 26th September, I am running this online survey to hear from as many people as possible.
Please do share your thoughts below, and please feel free to share this survey with others who live in this constituency.
Thank you,
Claire
