I have no problem with fireworks although I wonder what the environmental effect of millions of fireworks countrywide being let off is doing if they are let off for a specific time frame. It's when it goes on and on, until I wonder when it's going to end.
It's about compromise imo, letting off fireworks for hours and hours in a residential area is just plain inconsiderate imo. And it is never just one night in anywhere I've ever lived...every year, it is weeks of fireworks being let off near bonfire night and about a week of fireworks being let off for NYE.
Everyone wants to have fun, and they are beautiful to look at, but there are many people who would probably tolerate them alot better if it was only 2/3 nights a year, instead of the free for all that many places have now.
We had fireworks last night, and I'm expecting more in the next week, as that is usually what happens.
I'm sure that the people whooping and screaming loud enough to be heard half a mile away last night, within spitting distance of an entire street of houses were having too much fun yelling and screaming to give much thought if any to the street mainly occupied by pensioners, or the couple who live in the house 30 yards from their screaming where the elderly man is looking after his wife with advanced dementia, or their neighbours who are the same distance away from the screaming where the wife is elderly and terminally ill. Not to mention the other side of the playing field where there are many families with very young children and babies.
None of this would have been too much of a problem had it gone on for a short while, but to hear the fireworks and the screaming (of fully grown adults) going on until 1.40am was inconsiderate imo.
I'm another who would like to see fireworks at organised displays only. They are bloody dangerous in the wrong hands and despite children not being allowed to buy them, they are getting them from somewhere, because quite often children are seen letting them off.
