BRENT, ENGLAND, October 11, 2002: The Brent, England, City Council is taking action to tackle the nuisance of noisy fireworks. In the days leading up to Deepavali, November 4, the city council has launched a campaign to persuade revelers to be more considerate of their neighbors. Under the slogan, “Fireworks with a bang, but not too late or loud,” the council has issued a request encouraging responsible fireworks use. This includes not lighting fireworks after 11:00 pm, having displays as far as possible from neighbors’ homes, warning neighbors in advance, and keeping fireworks displays as short as possible. The problem is heightened because for at least a week before and after Deepavali, fireworks are let off.
