Remember it's not fun for everyone


 

They may look spectacular, but please remember fireworks can be dangerous and are #NotFunForEveryone. 

This time of year can bring about heightened anxiety and fear for vulnerable members of society, as well as our pets and wildlife.

 

ℹ️  Did you know, it's illegal to:

🎆 Set off fireworks after 11pm (midnight on #BonfireNight)

🎆 Set off or throw fireworks in the street/other public places

🎆 Sell fireworks to under-18s

 

🎆  The illegal use or sale of fireworks can result in 6️⃣ months’ imprisonment or a £5K fine.

 

The safest way to enjoy #BonfireNight is to attend a registered, organised display.

 

If you have concerns over the sale of fireworks, please contact your local authority’s Trading Standards department:  https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Ffind-local-council&data=05%7C02%7CAndrew.Jenkins4%40south-wales.police.uk%7Cacfc9527094c4079400b08dcfcb4c858%7C270c2f4dfd0c4f0892a9e5bdd8a87e09%7C0%7C0%7C638663100577862393%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5Ky%2BcxTZegDtcIRwoWY1KGcG9O5LM4HrLtNhGMruQns%3D&reserved=0
