Just been reading a paper on this year?s council budget for the cultural celebrations fund.


https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s98599/Report-Cultural%20Celebrations%20Fund.pdf.


This year?s allocation is slightly lower than in past years: seems that in the past quite a fair chunk of it has been spent on fireworks events. Given fireworks are not exactly air-quality-friendly, do people think Southwark might well give fireworks night a miss? I speak as someone who has been keen on fireworks and bonfires in the past, but think they may have to go.


See eg https://www.londonair.org.uk/londonair/guide/Fireworks.aspx


I would like to see drones but I suspect they are monster expensive.

I love fireworks but I think the tide is turning. I think they should be kept back for N Y Eve and Diamond Jubilee, etc. with a small show for Bonfire Night. I also think they should not be allowed to be bought over the counter. They used to feel special but now they pop and glitter every other week - boring and wasteful.

Given the current economic climate, I?m sure most people would be understanding if there were no fireworks.


Not forever, but for the near and immediate future it?s fine.


The idea that each bang-whizz-fizz is burning up ?50?s by the second is quite a sobering thought.

I do like fireworks but think in this day and age, the only acceptable display is where the public are charged a notional sum to watch a public display. Remembering when the children were young we paid for tickets to see fireworks at Crystal Palace park - It was something like ?10 for a family group of 4.

Yes, if it is felt there has to be any sort of display it should be limited and properly controlled and low noise type only. This way those with vulnerable pets or other issues have time to plan and avoid.

    • My food bin….still not collected….
    • A huge thank you to Julian Richards for fitting our custom wardrobes in two of our bedrooms, we are so happy with the results, they really feel a 'part of the room', super integrated with the space. Julian was a joy to work with, extremely helpful talking through the various options to help make decisions around the look and feel of the wardrobes vs the storage space, and approaches the build in a very methodically and logical manner, ensuring all our needs are taken into account to deliver a space that works for us and our lives. An excellent carpenter and a pleasure to have in the house. I highly recommend working with Julian!
    • Yes - and this is a good thing because meeting housing targets is a good thing. If Labour or any other party had managed to do it consistently over the last decade perhaps we wouldn't be in a housing crisis. I'm not sure if "don't build more housing because it's only rich foreigners that will end up living there" is official Lib Dem policy or not.
