Poll: Do you think there should be a ban on the private sale of fireworks?

Elesha Gordon from Neighbourly.co.nz

Porirua City will ask residents for their views on the private sale and use of fireworks, before deciding whether to lobby Government for a ban.

The Elsdon Residents Association, with the support of an advocate kaumatua of Ngāti Toa Rangatira, has asked Council to lobby central Government to ban the sale of fireworks and end their private use.

The request noted that Guy Fawkes is not a traditional New Zealand event and suggested that people enjoy public displays rather than be able to buy and set off fireworks themselves.
