UK ministers weighing ban on loud fireworks for the public
Two petitions, each with over 180,000 signatures, helped push the issue into a parliamentary debate in January.

The RSPCA welcomed the move, while the British Fireworks Association warns a ban could push people towards unregulated alternatives.
