Noise from fireworks

Fireworks set off before 11pm are not considered a noise nuisance and we do not investigate them. Fireworks set off after 11pm should be reported to the police.

We only investigate fireworks noise from domestic or commercial premises. Any street fireworks noise should be reported to the police.

There are some exceptions to the times you can set off fireworks until:

  • midnight on 5 November (Bonfire Night)
  • 1am following the first day of Chinese New Year
  • 1am on the day following Diwali
  • 1am on the day following 31 December (New Year’s Eve)
