Community’s efforts ensure bonfire night will go off with a bang in Arbroath

The Arbroath fireworks display is set to come back with a bang this year thanks to community fundraising.

There was no annual bonfire night celebration in the town last November, prompting an outcry from disappointed residents.

A group called Fireworks for Arbroath has been set up to bring the event back and has raised £6,000.

Group chairwoman Karen Cuthill said: “We’re so pleased and thankful for everyone’s efforts and donations.

“This event has been run and funded by the community.

“We’re making it all about a good old fireworks display, with no distractions like stalls or a funfair.

“We just want people to enjoy the fireworks this is what the night is all about.

“It also makes it more affordable for people who might be put off by the cost of having to pay for food or fairground rides.

“We’re not charging people to come but we will be collecting donations on the night.”

In the years before 2014, the fireworks evening was organised by Arbroath West and Letham councillor David Fairweather, separate from his official duties.

However, after his main volunteer group retired, he said the stress of hosting the celebrations was too much for him.

There was no one available to organise the fireworks last year leading to disappointment for people in the town.

Karen said: “We would like to thank everyone who donated, sponsored us or gave their time.

“Our sponsor business pledgers of £250 each are the Koko Bean Cupcakes, Blackadders Solicitors and Q-Ticlez & Tan’z.”

The fireworks display will be held at Inchcape Park on Saturday November 7 from 6.30pm.
