Cromer New Year's Day fireworks to go ahead

The display is paid for by voluntary donations which also go to help local good causes

New Year's fireworks in Cromer are to go ahead after worries Covid could force the event's cancellation.

The event chairman said the fireworks on Cromer Pier at 17:00 GMT on 1 January would go ahead but be reviewed if government guidance changed.

People are being advised to take a lateral flow test before attending, wear face coverings and maintain social distancing.

There would be no torchlight parade or fun run, however, organisers said.

The fireworks display was reviewed due to the pandemic

A fundraising page for the event has been set up instead of the usual bucket collection to minimise the handling of cash.

All the money raised goes towards the following year's display and grants for local good causes.
