A Leeds town council announced on Thursday that this year’s Bonfire Night displays will be postponed due to weather conditions.

Wetherby Town Council has announced that adverse weather and ground conditions have resulted in the postponement of this weekend’s fireworks display. In a video posted on Facebook on Thursday, November 2, town councillor Dean Buckle said: “We are very sorry to have to tell you that we have no alternative but to postpone this year’s bonfire here on the Ings. We have made this decision with a heavy heart and we are very sorry to have to do this.

We don’t believe that we can deliver this event in a safe way, and the last thing we want to happen is to cause an injury to anyone. “So, keep your tickets. We’re looking forward to being able to organise another event, where you will be able to use your tickets.” The post has received numerous comments, including people thanking the town council for announcing the postponement in good time. Some have also asked about ticket refunds.
