Barry writes to Trading Standards over the sale and use of illegal fireworks

Barry has written to the Trading Standards regarding the use of excessively loud fireworks, especially over the bonfire night and diwali period.

Section 8 of The Fireworks Regulations 2004 reads “No person shall supply, or offer or agree to supply, any category 3 firework which, when used, produces a maximum A-weighted impulse sound pressure level exceeding 120 decibels...”.

Barry has asked that this matter be looked into urgently. You can see his letter below.
