Hi everyone. I received this letter from Louise Bennet with regards to the banning of fireworks! All I can say is hear hear and agree with her sentiments wholeheartedly - and think we should all be far more pro active in reporting unlicensed dealers, and users! We can make a difference!

Morning all
Firstly, thank you Marcelle (from NSPCA) for your letters to the newspaper – they obviously felt them worthwhile as they printed them in every newspaper.
Folks, in case you didn’t see them, Marcelle’s letter highlighted another growing deadly menace i.e. the panic-stricken animals run into the road trying to escape the fireworks, thus causing accidents.
I quote from Marcelle’s letter: “In Australia, the sale of fireworks to the man in the street is banned, as it should be here. To cater for certain religious beliefs, only the sale of non lethal and pretty fireworks should be allowed. I call on our municipality to act and keep the promises that the use of these ghastly bombs be stopped. So far nothing has happened”
It would be most appreciated if we, as a body, write in and, especially if you have contacts in the Arrive Alive section, please contact them and let us know their reaction. I will then forward to everyone.
Many thanks
Louise Bennett
