Oxford City Council: Fireworks

The Fireworks (Amendment) Regulations 2004 prohibit anyone under 18 from possessing fireworks, and anyone except professionals from possessing display fireworks in a public place. These regulations also prohibit the use of fireworks at night (23:00 - 07:00), with the following extensions for festivals:

Until 01:00 on the night of the Chinese New Year
Until 01:00 on the night of Diwali
Until 01:00 on the night on New Year's Eve
Until 00:00 on 5 November

These regulations are enforced by the police. There is a penalty of up to £5,000 or 6 months in prison for breach of curfew. The supply, purchase or possession of excessively loud fireworks over 120 decibels are also prohibited.

Taken from the above link.

So how come when we phone the police they told us that it wasn't a police matter and that it wasn't even an official nuisance as they were not going on until after 11pm? It must have been considered that it was not a public place and so falls within the above permitted regulations.

In my experience - and there are some who would call me cynical, "Its not a police matter" means " we cant be assed" or.... "we're tied up in red tape and bureaucracy and we cant be assed".

Quite right Mike thats a lame excuss "its not a police matter" wears a bit thin after a while, its a bit like the footy off side rule, if your not interfering with play you shouldn't be on the field

Talking of nuisance noises, there's one now. It's like a high pitch whining noise. I hear it quite often and it's constant. What the hell is it? Been bugging me for years. You can generally hear it anywhere in Accy. I can hear it now and it's roughly 6pm Tuesday. Please, anyone an idea. Otherwise I may have tinnitus!

From your description, I'm 99% certain it's rats under your floorboards.

If you are under 21 you may be hearing one of those 'mosquito' gadgets used to move on the young yobbos

They are at it again now tonight! I am getting heartily sick of this.

ChrisMG · 31-07-2008, 16:20

Bang bang bang. Was that a flash? Dunno, can't see flashes in the daylight!!!
They're at it again, gungadin and his firework set.
I assume they do it whenever a new jihadist is born. Thats why we hear it everyday. Or maybe they celebrate whenever a British soldier is killed in Afghanistan! Now there's a thought.

cmonstanley · 31-07-2008, 19:11

whoever is doin it they are assholes . the thing is where i go visiting anywhere outside lancashire you never hear fireworks during the day.thick as pig s### . i wish the coppers would get their bottle back and do something about it..

emamum · 10-08-2008, 12:10

- i hate it - and summer is the worst time because that is when most asian weddings seem to be held - not only do i have to listen to thebangs - my dogs bark too so its double the noise - there was a wedding a couple of weeks ago and one of the remnants from the fireworks( quite a large blue tube with glass inside it ) hit a car and caused some damage - they waited for the pollice and it was a couple of hours before they arrived - dont know what happended after that - but imagine that coming down on your head - plus most are filled with glitter foil which litters the streets for days - its a shame but a 100 barage firewo0rk wouldnt be my first choice at my wedding lol
