try thrifted, gumtree, vinterior - lots of places

does seem to take up a width of the pavement that could be better used (i.e. we have to walk around it) and I'm not sure we need advertising on the pavements. Perhaps there are benefit's I don't know of.

Benefits include free phone calls, wifi, charging points, information etc. What's the problem?

They should take responsibility collectively, as united team. Constantly blaming someone else, excuses. It's lame.

I was going to say I have experience of working with the ombudsman, but seems you're covered now

It's not really though, is it. It's practical. At least we're allowed Christmas lights.

So what is the issue? You want compensation for the loss of value, or you want to expedite the matter?

Legal matters are notoriously slow. There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary? If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is?

That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones. It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

In part, it’s largely down to people not actually caring about anyone or anything else apart from their own gratification (btw, there are better ways to get a dopamine fix)

Who does it bother? The bikes take up more pavement space and are far more untidy.

It’s full-on consumerism season now until, well, Easter probably.

Yep - fireworks are recognised for certain celebrations; not for all everyday, just because we can and we like shiny things
