**Should fireworks be banned in the UK?**
Following the annual Bonfire Night celebrations on 5 November, we're asking whether it's time to rethink Britain's relationship with fireworks.
For many people, fireworks are a much-loved tradition, bringing communities together with spectacular displays. But for others, they mean noise, disruption, frightened pets, distressed wildlife and concerns about public safety.
Should fireworks be banned altogether? Should they be restricted to organised public displays? Or should people continue to have the freedom to enjoy fireworks at home?
In this episode, we explore the arguments for and against a UK fireworks ban and ask whether traditional celebrations need to change.
**What's your opinion?** Are fireworks an important part of British culture, or has the time come for stricter controls?
