Looking like covid rates are helping cancel fireworks displays
Councils are cancelling their displays
Manchester ( Heaton Park, Platt Fields Park, Wythenshawe Park, Crumpsall Park, the Eithad Campus, Cringle Park, Debdale Park and Brookdale Park have all been called off), Leeds (East End Park, Roundhay Park, Woodhouse Moor, Springhead Park in Rothwell, Middleton Park and Bramley Park cancelled), Nottingham (Forest Recreation Ground cancelled) Sheffield the After Dark display that has happened for the last 20 years has decided to cancel the event forever.
London New Year fireworks on the Thames has also been cancelled although celebrations in Trafalgar Square seem to be being planned.
Ok so the some big displays not happening is good in a way but does make for a double edged sword at least we knew what time the noise was going to happen now we just have to put up with people doing their own displays at random times.
