Default Firework Danger at Heathrow?

Coming back along the A30 this evening it was like a war-zone, with Diwali
fireworks all over the sky in the Cranford / Hatton / Hounslow West area.

These pyrotechnics were exploding uncomfortably close to aircraft on their
decent to Heathrow, all around and even seemingly above the aircraft.

I know that aircraft landing is mainly automated, but surely this activity
is dangerous to aircraft safety as it can only serve to distract pilots on
final approach. Surely they could have banned fireworks on aircraft
approaches as part of the recent Fireworks act.
