A REQUEST to hold a fireworks display during an annual fun fair in Clitheroe will be discussed by Ribble Valley councillors on Tuesday.

J W Shaw Amusements, a family firm from Manchester which holds two funfairs in Clitheroe every year, wants to hold a fireworks display during its autumn fair at Edisford car park.

Members of the community committee will consider a proposal to hold a display on the football fields at the back of the car park.

The fair will run from October 26 to 30 and the fireworks are planned for about 4pm on Saturday, October 28.

Councillors are recommended to give the plans the go ahead, providing that the fireworks contractor's safety plan is satisfactory.
