A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: “As we are approaching bonfire night, officers will be patrolling local areas and working with partner agencies to ensure everyone enjoys the night safely.”

Firefighters advise people to follow safety precautions.

A spokesman for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “This time of year is one of the busiest for firefighters, as they often have to deal with nuisance, deliberate fires.

“We want you to enjoy celebrations, but to do so safely.

“We would always recommend going to an organised bonfire or firework display as it is much safer to do so.”

A firework display will be held at Pownall Hall School on Carwood Road, Wilmslow on Friday, November 7, starting at 6pm.

Alderley Edge Community Primary School PTA is holding a display on Friday. Gates open at 5.30pm, fireworks at 6.45pm.
