Ripon's New Year's Eve fireworks display cancelled
A fireworks display, which had been due to take place tomorrow night as part of Ripon's New Year's Eve celebrations, has been cancelled.
No reason for the cancellation has yet been given and it is currently unclear whether the rest of the night's activities will take place.
Ripon City Council leader Andrew Williams, told the Stray Ferret:
Free entertainment was due to begin with the Ripon Hornblower ceremony at the obelisk at 9pm, followed by an Oasis tribute act and the Big Boyband Reunion.
The Mayor of Ripon, Councillor Eamon Parkin, was then due to address the audience at 11.55pm and, following a blessing by the Bishop of Ripon, the Rt. Rev Dr Helen-Ann Hartley, the fireworks display was scheduled to start as the town hall clock strikes 12.
