Southwark Council's plans for Fireworks Night 2011

A spokesman for Southwark Council said: "Following discussions with local councillors in the south of the borough, the Council Leader has confirmed today (Monday, 26th September) that the fireworks event in Dulwich proposed for November 4th will not go ahead.

"The Council is now working on an alternative venue for the borough's fireworks night 2011. As we have always said, there is absolutely no truth in the claim that we want to rename Guy Fawkes Night."
