The organisers of the annual event said they felt they had little option but to cancel

Wirral Council said it is disappointed a beach bonfire and fireworks event will no longer be happening after a sailing club complained about “unworkable” conditions and restrictions claiming they were “imposed” by the local authority. The event was due to take place on Hoylake Beach. The beach is a contentious issue locally due to a debate about its future, with arguments for the vegetation growing on it naturally to be left alone, while others call for the whole thing to be cleared.

” At a tourism, communities, culture and leisure committee meeting on October 17, Charlotte Smith, member of campaign group the Hoylake Beach Community, said the event was “a long standing cultural event” that supported the local RNLI and the sailing club, adding there was “great anger” at its sudden cancellation and blamed the council. Council legal officer Vicki Shaw said it wasn’t an event organised by the council but gave advice.
