All-In-One Garden Centre fined for illegally selling fireworks
The garden centre was fined £1,545 and ordered to pay £1,100 in costs after pleading guilty to breaching the Consumer Protection Act 1987 at Bury and Rochdale Magistrates' Court on July 22.

The company was part of the Good Guy retailer scheme, which sees businesses sign up to a voluntary code of conduct designed to keep young people safe around Bonfire Night.

However, the centre sold fireworks to two volunteers under the age of 18 on October 29 last year.

This breach of the Good Guy scheme saw the retailer's membership immediately revoked and the fireworks seized.
