The highlight of many New Year’s celebrations is watching the London fireworks display on TV. Some even choose to brave the cold and watch in person along the Embankment or another display more local to us in Burton and Uttoxeter.
As an MP, I receive lots of correspondence from people across Burton and Uttoxeter regarding the use of fireworks. Although many people enjoy the big public displays, and the majority of those who use fireworks do so responsibly, I know and appreciate that others, along with farmers and pet owners, can find them a nuisance.
Although there are currently no plans to introduce further legalisation around fireworks, I am keen to know more about this matter and what residents think. I have created the survey below so that residents can share their views with me.
