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.

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.
