As this is topical still http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif and we have been talking about it in the other sections of the forum, this news is from a South Yorkshire Local Authority (I'm in West Yorks so only a short distance away, so lets hope it rubs off on my LA too!).

Fireworks restriction?

<span style=\'color:purple\'>Councillors in Rotherham want the Government to restrict the sale of fireworks to just three or four weeks before November the 5th to prevent injuries and accidents.

The council says it has received a "flood of complaints" from the public about the indiscriminate and inconsiderate use of fireworks. Trading standards have stepped up visits to retailers to check they are not selling fireworks to children.

Do we have any web graphic designers that would be willing to make an online award graphic? (Got so much on with the new site, time is the problem! LOL).
