FIREWORKS ACT, 1951
THE KEEPING OF FIREWORKS ORDER, 1959
The main duty imposed on the Authority is to ensure that explosives are stored in safe conditions.
There are four premises in the Borough that store explosives other than fireworks and these were inspected
frequently and found to be satisfactorily maintained.
Fireworks are also classed as explosives and persons selling them are required to register their premises.
These premises are inspected to ensure that the fireworks are (i) stored safely and (ii) not sold to young
children.
Four cases were taken by the Council for offences and fines and costs totalling £8. 10s. Od. imposed.
The fines do not appear to reflect the serious consequences that can ensue from improper storage of fireworks
and, in particular, the risk to young children when they are sold fireworks.
