Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only

Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public to minimise the harm caused to vulnerable people and animals. Defenceless animals can die from the distress caused by fireworks.
I believe that permitting unregulated use of fireworks is an act of wide-scale cruelty to animals.

Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalties and must remunerate platforms and individuals for lost income until service is restored.

We call on the government to introduce mandatory DBS checks for all licensed tattoo artists in England. Wales has shown this approach works. DBS checks will prevent those with violent or sexual criminal histories from working with clients, protecting public safety and ensuring trust in the industry.

Review and regulate veterinary care to ensure its affordable and accessible to all. Vet costs rose 60%+ from 2015-2023 with more increases since. Costs vary regionally but basic consultations can cost £65+ and some costs like advanced scans may exceed £1000, unaffordable for many.

First aid kits a legal requirement for public use at public venues
- 1,099 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,108 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Make it a legal requirement for cafés, restaurants, and public venues to have an adequate first aid kit accessible for public emergencies and not only legally required for employee use. Currently it is ‘recommended’ a first aid kit is available for the public but it isn’t a requirement.
