Councillor Kathryn Thomas presented her fireworks motion last night in Full Council. There was cross-party support for the motion with councillors from all parties speaking in support.
The aim of the motion is to ensure that fireworks can be enjoyed by all residents, by
• Having 'permitted hours' when fireworks are allowed,
• Causing less disruption to residents' sleep,
• Reducing distress to vulnerable residents, pets and wildlife,
• Designation of Fireworks Control Zones, and
• Encouraging the use of silent or low-noise alternatives.
The Liberal Democrats' motion encourages the responsible use of fireworks and urges Solihull Council to work with retailers, residents, schools and community organisations to ensure that everyone can enjoy fireworks during traditional celebration periods.
