Susan Duncan, events manager for Slough Borough Council, said: “This year will be yet another fantastic fireworks night, with the added addition of the much loved bonfire.

“I hope you see many people there having fun.”

Commissioner for community and leisure, Cllr Shafiq Chaudhry, said, “One of our promises before we gained control of the council in May was to bring back the bonfire. Its right to have a bonfire on this special night and it will be the icing on the cake on what will be a fantastic evening.”
