A reminder that the Government’s consultation on nuisance fireworks closes at 23:59 this Wednesday.
I’ve heard repeated concerns from many residents about the distress caused by fireworks being set off illegally late at night and throughout the year across Oldham.
The consultation includes proposals to restrict the loudest fireworks to professional displays and tackle the problems caused by their misuse.
This doesn’t replace the need for local enforcement by Trading Standards, Community Safety and the police, but it could remove some of the most intrusive elements of fireworks.
If you have been affected, or have a view on the proposals, please take a few minutes to respond before the deadline.
Your experience matters and will help shape what happens next.
