Councillor Gillian Edwards, chairman of the environment committee, said: “We are delighted to be able to hold this annual event for residents.

“We have a great community spirit in Weaverham and we recognise the importance of village events within this. We receive such lovely feedback about the bonfire each year, and as a Council we work hard to ensure that we provide the best event that we can.
