ONCE again decent law-abiding people have to put up with the curse of firework yobs.

This annual problem could be eliminated by:

1) Banning the sale of what are basically explosives to the general public.

2) Imposing heavy fines or imprisonment on anyone who sets off fireworks in the street.

3) Only allowing the sale of fireworks to organised events on production of a permit.

If we only pull together and make our voices heard, we can beat this problem once and for all.
