Poll: Should fireworks be banned?

The Team from ACC New Zealand

Setting off fireworks has become an annual Kiwi backyard tradition, and it’s almost time to break out the sparklers again. However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year.

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.

Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.

The royal visit will shut vehicles out of parts of downtown Auckland on Tuesday afternoon with crowds expected.

- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit Karanga Plaza in Wynyard Quarter for a stroll around 4pm on Tuesday.

- Wynyard Quarter will be closed to vehicles from 2pm on Tuesday afternoon. Roads would be reopened when crowds clear, Auckland Transport spokesman James Ireland said.

- If you are hoping to catch a glimpse of the couple, AT advised crowds to use public transport as parking in the area would be limited. Downtown, the Fanshawe Street car park or an open-air car park on Madden Street would be the closest options, it said.

- Normal timetables would operate on buses, trains and ferries but some buses would be diverted and stop closures would be in place, AT added. Buses including the 20 service, 75 service and CityLink service would experience detours. "Some delays can be expected," AT said. The bus stop at 63 Jellicoe Street would be closed and a temporary stop would be in place outside 55 Madden Street, AT said.

Other engagements planned for the royals on Tuesday include a 'welly-wanging' contest at Queen's Commonwealth Canopy on the North Shore between 11.45am and 12.45pm.

The couple will then head to Pillars, a charity that supports children with a parent in prison, with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Following their stroll along the viaduct, the couple will attend a reception with Ardern held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum at 7pm. Read more here
