With plenty of bonfires and firework displays in store for east Suffolk over the coming days, people are being reminded to stay safe.
East Suffolk Council say that those having garden displays should be considerate, especially those with neighbours who are elderly, vulnerable or have children or pets…
Other safety advice from the District Council includes:
- Please ensure that the fallout zone is cleared of any litter and debris promptly.
- Please consider quieter fireworks up to 90dB, and/or silent fireworks, as a proportion of the display.
- There is a range of other fund-raising activities that avoid or carry much reduced impacts on animals and vulnerable people. Examples include laser shows or drone light shows, which are starting to become more popular as near-direct alternatives to fireworks displays.
