Now that the smoke has cleared, I think it's an appropriate time for Minister of National Security John Sandy to put out a clear statement on the purchase and use of fireworks. For too long we have hear the problems with the elderly and animals and the inconsiderate use of fireworks.
Regardless of the announcements that fireworks should be used in open spaces and under adult supervision for half an hour at specific times, the indiscriminate use continues. Mr Minister, simple, clearly defined guidelines are all that's required to make life a little more comfortable.
