They are called shared spaces. They generally come with 20 mph or lower speed limit and pedestrians can cross wherever they want i.e. the idea is a child wouldn't have to run the gauntlet across a stream of speeding traffic but rather vehicles would actually stop to let them cross. Amazing it seems to just work and both journey times and accidents are much reduced.

      I totally agree it just seems that it a thing nowadays.  It must be due to how fireworks are sold.

      Fireworks

      If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.

      Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
