There's calls for fireworks across Lincolnshire and Newark to only be set off at specific times and days
It's as part of a campaign that's been running for over a decade - set up by a local Grantham woman.
A campaign to limit the times and days that fireworks can be set off across Lincolnshire and Newark is calling on locals to consider others.
It's as people, animals and the environment can be negatively impacted by fireworks.
Liz Cole is part of the Campaign - which was set up by a local Grantham woman - and tells us what the issues are:
"We're calling for a change in the law, so to restrict public use of fireworks and only have licenced displays around specific dates. So Guy Fawkes, Diwali etc. because if you've got proper licence displays, and ideally they'd be published on a website or an app, then people; people with PTSD, war veterans, people with animals, even people with sound sensitivity, could in some way be prepared, and it would remove that shock element of the fireworks for them.
"The trouble at the moment is that anyone can buy fireworks. The the laws allow us, in this country, to let them off any day of the year until 11:00 o'clock at night, which is just ridiculous.
"In many countries it's one day of the year, or a few days of the year, and in some it's none. So, we're calling for much tighter restrictions because the growing availability of fireworks, and the reduced cost of them, is just making them happen too often, so now, it's not even just a few days of the year."
Liz added that they affect so many different people and animals:
"There's three key areas that are impacted here, so there's people, different types of animals too, then there's the environmental impact.
"It seems ridiculous in this day and age, at a time where diversity and inclusion is really important, we don't seem to take any regard for the the vulnerable people, people, for example, with PTSD - I know of of someone who was involved in an explosion and every single time a firework goes off, it takes him right back to that moment and to relive that trauma.
"Then, there's animals, who can't speak for themselves, that's wildlife; hedgehogs, sheep, horses. As well as pets whose owners have to watch them suffer, and I think people are increasingly aware of the impact on pets, it can be terrifying for them. They can bolt, people can lose their dogs, some have had heart attacks.
"Then, there's the environmental impact. It's a lot of toxins, you've got the rubbish that's thrown off each firework that has to go and land somewhere, but also you've got toxins and chemicals in the fireworks - which the more colourful they are, and louder they are, the more you've got of that in there. So, they're not good."
