A Lincoln local is pressing for increased restrictions on the sale and use of fireworks, asserting their extensive use leads to prolonged distress for animals.

The initiative looks to safeguard vulnerable animals during the fireworks season, which has been characterised as a ‘period of terror’ for them.
