Kilwinning’s big fireworks display has been cancelled this year due to coronavirus.
While many options have been considered to keep the big event on the 2020 calendar organisers confirmed the sad news after the latest restrictions were confirmed.
Organiser and Kilwinning Labour Cllr Donald Reid said: “Everyone loves Kilwinning Fireworks but sadly it looks like any attempt to have a display this year will be thwarted by ongoing restrictions.
"We appreciate cancelling the display will be disappointing and the risk of seeing a rise in anti-social behaviour around November 5 will be concerning but as guidance and money stands we are unable to stage a display.”
