Ripon's annual New Year's Eve fireworks display is in doubt because of safety concerns about letting off fireworks behind the town hall
Ripon City Council, which has staged New Year's Eve celebrations on the site since 1985, is exploring other options after being advised it can no longer set off fireworks on land behind the town hall.
It could spell an end to any further fireworks displays taking place in the Market Square.
Council leader Andrew Williams said:
Fireworks displays provided the finale to the Yorkshire Day weekend event concert on 31 July (pictured above) and the Last Night of the Proms concert in September.
On New Year's Eve, there will again be free live music on Market Square from 9.30pm, with performances from the Big Boyband Reunion and Oasis tribute acts.
