Bonfire night celebrations this weekend

Bonfire night celebrations this weekend

Staffordshire Police is encouraging residents to enjoy Bonfire Night celebrations safely and responsibly this weekend.

If you are attending an organised display, please plan your journey in advance, allow extra time for travel and follow the guidance of event organisers and stewards.

We would also remind parents and carers to ensure children are supervised at all times, particularly around fireworks and bonfires. Fireworks should only be purchased from licensed retailers and used responsibility, in accordance with the law and safety instructions.

Please be considerate of neighbours, pets, livestock and vulnerable members of the community who may be affected by loud noises. Any anti-social behaviour, dangerous use of fireworks, or criminal activity will be dealt with by officers.

Our officers will be out across the county throughout the weekend to help keep people safe. In an emergency, always call 999. For non - emergency concerns, contact us on 101 or via our website. 

We hope everyone enjoys a safe and enjoyable Bonfire Night weekend.
