Radioactive Clothing Ltd has submitted a licence application to Lewisham Council for the return of Blackheath Fireworks, last held in 2018. The proposed event includes live music, dance performances, and alcohol sales, scheduled annually between late October and mid-November. Past cancellations were due to financial constraints faced by the council, including a £157 million budget cut over 14 years. The council prioritizes essential services during the cost of living crisis, making funding for the event challenging. Local residents can comment on the proposal as part of the application process.
The proposed event by Radioactive Clothing Ltd aims to bring back the Blackheath Fireworks for the first time since 2018, spanning live music and performances.
The previous cancellation of the fireworks was due to Lewisham Council's financial constraints, exacerbated by a significant annual budget cut of £157 million over 14 years.
The council has emphasized the importance of prioritizing essential local services and addressing the needs of vulnerable residents over funding community events like fireworks.
The application proposes an annual one-day event on Blackheath Common, including alcohol sale and scheduled from 4pm to 11pm, should approval be granted.
