Fireworks Night on Clapham Common

Local residents are all invited to come and enjoy the fireworks at the annual display on Clapham Common is on Thursday 5 November 2009, with the fun beginning at 7.30pm.

There is no parking at any of the shows so Larkhall residents are urged use public transport or walk to the displays. However Clapham Common tube station will be closed from approximately 6.30 to 9pm, so you will need to plot an alternative routes. Unfortunately any revellers who bring their own sparklers or fireworks will have them confiscated on safety grounds.

The Safer Lambeth Partnership - which includes the council, Police and Fire Service - has been working together to ensure the period around fireworks night and Halloween is enjoyed by everyone. Trading Standards officers will be carrying spot-checks to crack down on shops selling fireworks to under-18s, and shops were asked not to sell eggs and flour to children in the run up to Halloween.
