Nuneaton's civic bonfire and fireworks event has been cancelled this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The popular event that raises thousands for charity was due to take place in November.

A statement from the organisers on Facebook said: "Due to the current pandemic and restrictions surrounding Covid-19 we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Nuneaton Civic Bonfire. 

"We appreciate that such events are important for the community, especially at times like this, but public health and safety is always our number one priority. 

"The continued introduction of government guidelines makes it impossible for us to plan and mitigate and therefore we have no alternative but to cancel this year’s event.

"Rest assured, we do expect to return in 2021 and will make further announcements on this at a later date. For now, please continue to stay safe."
