Lija fireworks factory is really close to a school and that in itself is one reason why it should be closed down. It does not meet the safety requirements as laid down by law as it is in the very close proximity of a public road. Those two reasons should be enough to close down the factory.
It is useless to argue that the factory was there before the school. Surely a school should take precedence over a fireworks factory. If necessary we should do away with all of our fireworks factories and build schools instead.
