Bonfires Banned -

A town's plans for a bonfire night party have gone up in smoke because council bosses say the fumes from the celebratory flames will go against their new clean air campaign.

Slough Borough Council has ditched the focal point of its traditional Guy Fawkes' night public display because bosses do not want to be seen to be hypocritical when trying to promote a greener environment, they are expected to use a trapeze act instead.

Just weeks after it launched the "Cleaner, Safer, Greener Slough" initiative, bigwigs at the town hall thought it would be an embarrassing move to light up a big blaze in one of its public parks.
It is because two of the nine pledges as part of the campaign include promises to "Protect the air you breathe" and "Make parks a pleasant place to visit."
**And to think that Bonfire Night is to celebrate the failure of a plot to blow up Parliment. A shame that we can not have a bonfire to burn the local councillors who think that the public are there to serve them and not the other way around.
