Steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal’s Surrey estate has become the center of local controversy due to a series of disruptive fireworks displays.

Fireworks Disrupt Surrey Residents

Late-Night Displays Cause Distress

Residents living near Mittal’s 400-acre Alderbrook Park property experienced two nights of intensely loud and prolonged fireworks last weekend. The noise was reportedly audible for miles, shaking houses and frightening animals.

Locals described the fireworks as sounding like ‘gunships’ and impacting families with children preparing for school. Mittal, 75, has reportedly relocated to Switzerland while also maintaining a presence in Dubai, where he recently purchased a £152 million mansion.

While the Mittals have declined to comment directly, a friend indicated apologies were offered for any ‘unintentional disruption’. Residents have requested more considerate celebrations in the future, speculating the displays were for his wife’s birthday and a Hindu festival.
