Answered by Kate Dearden
No recent discussions have taken place with Slough Borough Council on the prevention of the illegal use and sale of fireworks.
Enforcement powers exist for local authorities to take action when fireworks are unsafe, sold illegally or misused. It is for local areas to decide how best to deploy these powers, based on their specific circumstances.
