He has placed the issue on the agenda for the next meeting of the Committee of Constables to discuss seeking an amendment to the law.

He has made the move because of complaints he received following a display at a corporate event at midnight on 6 August from Elizabeth Castle.

That event, and other recent late night displays, led to a number of people contacting him to complain – including the manager of the Animals Shelter after the noise set off dogs barking.

Mr Crowcroft said that the Constables currently had no authority to prevent fireworks displays taking place as late as midnight.
