Background

Introduce legislation that makes the sellers of fireworks verbally, and in writing (via leaflet or similar), tell buyers the basic laws around the use, and restrictions, on fireworks. To include, time, place, age restrictions.

Additional details

We think people are endangering themselves, and our communities, by breaking the law by using them incorrectly, using them in inappropriate places, not paying attention to age restrictions for buying them, using them after 11pm on days where that is not allowed.
