Camden New Journal - Letters to the Editor Published: 15 November 2007
We’ve lost the plot on fireworks!
• ALTHOUGH no great fan of fireworks myself, I think your correspondent Anita Brooks (Letters, November 8) was being a little sparing with the truth when she asked “Why do we continue to burn effigies of a Catholic?”
I think I remember something about Guy Fawkes trying to blow up Parliament!
But, with Camden Council now ruling out the prospect of any organised fireworks on Primrose Hill, I fear the growth of local celebrations will continue. These totally unsupervised and wholly intrusive events constitute a far greater annoyance and disturbance to peace, pets and people. Is Camden Council going to do anything, or is the noise pollution team deaf from all the fireworks? DAVID REED
