Whilst I concur with the basic sentiment, in this day and age does anyone really expect either the emergency services or local authorities to deal with things like fireworks being let off ?.I very much doubt the authorities did much about this in the past either, the difference being that there were less people then, fireworks were probably less easily available, and people were more considerate of others.It's like these blanket bans that are in place now about number of dogs being walked by one person, alcohol-free zones and such like, in theory they have merit, in reality they're completely hollow because they can never be enforced rigorously and the authorities just hope that signage will deter some people.But all the bureaucracy that comes with putting these things in place has to be paid for, and for me I'd rather that expense was used for other things.
