Fireworks ban in Hilversum applies the next turn of the year, in any event. The judge removes the ban, because the mayor and aldermen are not empowered to take such a decision.
According to the judge a fireworks ban is a matter of public policy. Its enforcement is unambiguously to the mayor and not to the entire college. The college was thus set a fireworks ban.
In November showed that Hilversum was included in the overall local ordinance that no fireworks should be lit in the center of the place during the New Year.
Mayor Peter Brothers had already announced in the year that he was considering that. But politics and fireworks traders reacted surprised. Two fireworks traders on the edge of the ban area went to court because they feared loss of sales.
Pop Peas
According traders prohibition is confusing, since in private gardens courtyards in the ban area or may simply be popped. Also falling stars and throwdowns not prohibited. Many people would think that no fireworks may be chipped across Hilversum, which nobody buys fireworks.
The court has left all the arguments for and against the ban left. He points to the Municipal Act, which maintain public order assigns to the mayor. ,, There is no other national law ordering a task to the mayor and aldermen in this area, “said the statement.
Disappointing
Hilversum calls it “very disappointing” that the court Friday morning has deleted the fireworks ban for the center of the place.
