A petition calling on the sale of fireworks to members of the public to be banned could be discussed in parliament.

More than 100,000 have backed the new petition.

When any petition is signed by 100,000 people it is considered for a debate in parliament.

The petition calls on the government to only allow fireworks to be displayed at licenced venues.

It states: "Every year fireworks are set off unnecessarily.

"Fireworks are a nuisance to the public. They scare animals, young children and people with a phobia.

"They injure thousands of people every year.

"They cause damage to buildings, vehicles, emergency vehicles etc .

"Lastly Kids are STILL being sold them."

Every year fireworks are enjoyed by thousands but a handful of people use them to cause trouble.

This year across the border in Leicestershire a stray firework led to a significant blaze at two houses.

And one woman in Derbyshire says she found a cat with a firework taped to it .
