rad   10 #25 Posted May 14, 2006 I'm not gonna complain, was too late IMO but not as bad as some of the fireworks you used to get going off all hours in Nether Edge. And not as bad as the drunk people we get going past shouting and singing at 3am every morning at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Zoggi   10 #26 Posted May 14, 2006 If they were all the way up in broomhill, and it sounded like bombs going off from where I was, that's definately a cause for complaint IMO. It sounded like they were next door, and I was all the way down on ecclessal road! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
coyote13 Â Â 10 #27 Posted May 14, 2006 If no complaint is made it will not stop (or be stopped). Â Anything after 10.00 is a statutory nuisance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Colin Foster   70 #28 Posted May 15, 2006 Well, under the Firework Disturbance Act 1991, it is illegal, in this country, to set off any firework after 2300.  I could hear the Fireworks in Sandygate, at around 2220, so they weren't breaking the law and cannot be sued. However, I don't know if they continued past the 2300 "watershed". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Stevo123   10 #29 Posted May 22, 2006 Fireworks - Saturday 13th May 2006 Stephenson Hall of Residence, Oakholme Road  Fireworks lasted 10 minutes and were fired at 22.15hrs  400 letters were hand delivered to those in the immediate area a week in advance. Clearly we cannot deliver to half of Sheffield.  Fireworks were fired by fully insured and licenced company. Fire Brigade, Police, Air Traffic Control were made aware in advance.  The display was for the Annual Stephenson Hall May Ball. Since 2001 a firework display at 22.15hrs has been centrepiece with no complaints to date. Each year the ball (held for students and guests of the hall) raises £1000 for local charities.  Hope this clarifies the issues raised. Hopefully many more enjoyed our annual display!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
purdyamos   10 #30 Posted May 22, 2006 Thanks for that, Stevo. I could see them from my window and I thought they were beautiful. Pity about the cloud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tony   10 #31 Posted May 22, 2006 400 letters were hand delivered to those in the immediate area a week in advance.  Not to me there wasn't, and I'm very much in the immediate area.  That said, I thought that they were fabulous! Me and the dog and the cats sat watching them in awe  Look forward to them next year, just let us have notice so we can have the animals inside. Perhaps you'll invite the residents around too?

Stevo123 Â Â 10 #32 Posted May 23, 2006 Cheers Tony, Â What road are you on out of interest if you don't mind me asking - incase you were missed. Â In previous years we fired the display from the tennis courts of Stephenson Hall at the top of Oakholme Road (where it meets Ashdell). However because this year that land is being built on we had to relocate to Crewe Flats (right at the botton of Oakholme, by Endcliffe Road) - hence perhaps you were more in the 'firing' line so to speak than previous years. Â Glad you enjoyed the show!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
