Will there be a bonfire at these events?
There will not be a bonfire at either of this year’s events.
- Bonfire events need to use pallets that have not been treated with chemicals to ensure they do not pollute our beautiful parks and water courses. These are becoming more and more costly to purchase, just to burn.
- Up to 2,300 people die early due to long-term exposure to air pollution every year in the West Midlands. Clean air is essential to our health and wellbeing, as well as the environment. Along with Sandwell and Dudley, Walsall Council made the decision not to hold bonfires at their events this year.
