A message from Cllr Bal Anota after the best attended Fawkes in the Walks fireworks display yet

Cllr Bal Anota, Cabinet member for Events and Public Open Space, was pleased to see that more than 20,000 people attended Fawkes in the Walks on Friday.
Cllr Anota added after recording the video:
“My family and I enjoyed the event but I was disappointed to hear that, despite the borough council putting on a professionally run display, a property outside the park decided to set off their own fireworks minutes after our display had finished with a wayward firework entering the crowd in The Walks.
“I was concerned to hear that four people suffered minor injuries from this firework but reassuringly we had medical support on hand from a Doctor and Paramedics as part of our safety team who were able to help them so they could walk away from the park after they treated their wounds. I thank the staff for their quick actions and wish the four attendees a speedy recovery.
“The hard work of everyone involved, along with the support of our partner organisations, helps to make it such a great fixture on the King’s Lynn calendar. I’d especially like to thank all the volunteers without whom the event could not be such a success.”
