The RMO has been made aware of the use of fireworks on the estate. We would like to remind residents of the following:
You cannot use fireworks in public places as the law has deemed this as unacceptable. UK law states that you can only set off fireworks in private places, these being locations owned by yourself or locations which have been granted permission by the Council.
Letting off fireworks in a public place where there are children and animals is not only unethical and a reckless behaviour, but also illegal. The RMO is committed to taking swift and firm actions against any users of fireworks on this estate.
If you are aware of any users of fireworks on this estate, please contact the RMO in confidence. Ideally with an address linked to the firework users. We can only take action against known persons.
If you are unable to identify any persons involved, you must contact the Police since such action is illegal.
Failure to adhere to the law could result in the following:
- Tenancy / Lease action being taken against the tenant of the property – they are responsible for all members of their household including visitors to the estate or its vicinity
- Direct action against the user
- An on-the-spot fine of £90.
- Up to a £5,000 fine and/or
- Up to 3 years imprisonment
We thank you for your anticipated your cooperation.
