Details of Littlehampton Bonfire Night road closures

With just days until the 60th bonfire night bonanza ignites celebrations in the town, members of the Littlehampton Bonfire Society are issuing a few last words of warning, in the run-up to the festivities at the end of the month.

Richard Cooper, secretary for the organisation, said: “Local residents and spectators can help to make it a safe and enjoyable evening for everyone by following the simple advice in the safety leaflet which is being distributed with our official Bonfire Night programmes. We hope that everyone will follow this advice, to ensure the safety of both themselves and those around them.”

“Celebrate safely’ is the message from the Littlehampton Bonfire Society safety advisory group to spectators attending the town’s 60th.”
