Majority don’t want home fireworks

An Auckland Council poll on social media has identified that the majority of respondents would prefer a ban on firework sales to the public.

Council asked whether the general public should be able to buy fireworks in an informal Facebook poll aimed at raising awareness of consultation on proposed changes to the Public Safety and Nuisance bylaw.

It revealed that a total of 26 percent of respondents were in favour of home fireworks while 74 percent want public displays only.
