| E-mail of the week: banning fireworks ![]() Chris was injured by a firework earlier this week Calls to ban the sale of fireworks to the general public have produced a huge response in our inbox this week. Here, Chris Lovitt, from London explains why he feels they should no longer be sold in corner shops:
Two rockets were fired at me whilst I was cycling to work on Sunday at 7pm. There were sixteen youths, all under 16, and two fireworks. Each year an increasing number of places become no-go areas for pedestrians and cyclists during October and November. Ban firework sales from corner shops and limit them to large, reputable dealers. Turning London into Beirut every year is not acceptable. |
