Manchester City Council has not held a large-scale bonfire event since 2019.
A city council which cancelled its Bonfire Night displays during the pandemic has said the events will not be reinstated following a review.
Manchester City Council has not held a large-scale 5 November event since 2019 and decided not reintroduce one in 2022 due to budget pressures.Councillor Lee Ann Igbon said there would be "a bespoke programme of autumn and winter park activities" instead. She said the council had "looked carefully at the cost benefit of putting on these huge bonfire events" and the "continuing rising costs and pressure on our budgets" meant the decision had been taken to "focus" on its events "for local communities".
"We want to support families through the cost-of-living crisis and feel that this is much better way to target resources," she added.
