Fireworks
With Diwali having just taken place and Halloween, Bonfire night and New Year’s Eve coming up, would residents please note this e-mail from one of our residents living in our area, which we have received today (21 October ’25);
“I would like to write to you to let you know that one of the fireworks from Sunday night at 7pm broke off tiles on our roof leaving a hole.
We could not ascertain the damage until today (apart from hearing and seeing the broken tiles outside our door) and that is why I am letting you know a day later.
As we are coming into the 5th November season, would it be possible to remind residents of Riddlesdown to ensure that they do not point any fireworks in the direction of any houses and to be very careful?
We are having to get a roofer to fix the hole and change the other chipped tiles and I am just grateful that it was raining and that my house didn’t catch fire.”
