Weeley Parish Council has issued an urgent warning against setting off fireworks at Weeley Playing Field on November 5 due to a serious gas leak in the area. The council said that igniting fireworks could cause a serious incident.
The warning comes as residents prepare to celebrate Bonfire Night, the anniversary of the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, which is traditionally observed with fireworks displays and the burning of effigies known as 'Guys' at community events.
A council spokesman appealed to residents to pass on the message, particularly to children and young adults who might be tempted to set off fireworks at the park. The council urged people not to use the playing field next to Weeley Village Hall for fireworks on the evening.
