Public views wanted on fireworks laws

What do you think of the Island's current firework regulations?

A Public petition calling for a firework ban in urban areas and silent displays elsewhere was launched earlier this year.

David Cretney MLC then brought the matter before Tynwald - it's now been approved a committee will look into current firework laws.

Three members - Daphne Caine MHK, Rob Callister MHK and Kate Lord-Brennan MLC have been elected and will report back by July.

The Committee now wants to hear from anyone who would like to have their say on the issue - you can do so by emailing committees@tynwald.org.im or by post to Legislative Buildings.
