Barrier to safety
However, did we really need so many barriers? At times, they seemed to be a hazard rather than a safeguard, preventing the free movement of people and making it difficult to keep track of one’s party.
At one point, the only way off the Promenade appeared to be by climbing over the low wall, impossible for those with buggies or wheelchairs. After the fireworks, again amazing, the only feasible exit was through the playground. Hopefully, no damage was done.

I hope the Bonfire Society reached its target, for it was a really excellent show.
