I SEE now that not only do we have to put up with a barrage of fireworks in the run-up to bonfire night and for days after, but we have also to endure the same procedure over the festive season.

The new laws are unrealistic and cannot be upheld properly.

Perhaps the 'bang' element could be taken out of the fireworks, or the price doubled so that people will save them for the night of the celebrations.

We need someone in government with some backbone to do something properly.
