AN ANNUAL firework show has been cancelled due to high winds.
The firework finale to Hastings Old Town Carnival Week will not be going ahead today.
Hastings Borough Council has cancelled tonight’s fireworks display for safety reasons.
A council spokesman said: “We know that the evening fireworks provide a great finale to carnival day, but with winds forecast to be in excess of 40 mph, well above the safe maximum limit, at 9pm, it is simply too dangerous.
"We thank local residents and visitors for their understanding.”
