In the run up to EVERY SINGLE DIWALI and bonfire night, fireworks are let off until after 1am. I live in Leamington Old Town and this has been occurring EVERY night for 2 weeks now.
There's a law against fireworks being set off after a certain time (I think it's 11pm), but what's the point in having a law against something if it isn't policed?
When it's "Fireworks Season" so to speak, there should be a constant police presence on the streets to uphold this law. There's no point in joe public phoning the local police about it because:
1. The Leamington police aren't interested unless somebody is dying. At least that's my experience of phoning them (numerous occassions due to problems with vagrants and drug users hanging around the area surrounding the flats I live in).
2. By the time the police do arrive, it would have stopped and the guilty people would just deny it anyway.
Fireworks are nice to look at, but their manufacturers have decided in recent years to make them louder for some reason. In my opinion there is
no need for the excessive bang with fireworks. The technology is there to create them without such a bang.
In a nutshell, I hate this time of year, as I'm always tired through lack of sleep.
Rant over. Thank you for your time :D
