Remember, remember...

We are approaching November 5th and the City Council is once again hosting a bonfire and fireworks on Midsummer Common. The event is always good fun, and public displays tend to be both more spectacular and safer than private ones. The funfair opens from around 6pm, with a display by Wildfire Productions from 7pm to 7.20pm.

The main event are the fireworks and bonfire lighting at about 7.30pm.

The display does cause transport problems around Misummer Common, and this tends to have knock on effects up Milton Road. The police have used the eCops to pass on some of the details:

Victoria Avenue, Trafalgar Road, Trafalgar Street, Fair Street, New Square, Maids Causeway between Four Lamps Roundabout and just west of Brunswick Gardens, Jesus Lane and Kings Street between Four Lamps Roundabout and Manor Street, will be closed between 6.30pm and 8.30pm, as crowds build up.

There is also a one way system in the De Freville area north of the River. The River is also closed to traffic.

Full details of closures, and access arrangements are on the City Council website.

I hope as many people as possible enjoy the display.

(Finally a thanks to all the sponsors, listed on the website, for making the event possible.)
