Fireworks are becoming more and more of a dangerous and anti-social nightmare.

The noise lasts from the weekend before November 5 until the week-end after, most nights of the week, plus there are Diwali celebrations.

Many people have fireworks in their back gardens night after night for a good fortnight, not just one or two nights.

I have two cats, one of whom dared not go out of the house for days. Consider the terror suffered by horses, livestock and wild animals.

This happens more each year and the sale of fireworks to individuals as opposed to organised groups should be removed for good.

I hope others agree so something will start to be done about it.
