Lewes District Council has extended its gratitude to the hardworking staff who ensured the success of this year’s Lewes Bonfire Night. In an impressive overnight operation, the Environment First crew collected nine tonnes of waste, working tirelessly from 1am to 7am to clear the town of debris left by celebrants.

Their efforts meant that by Sunday morning, Lewes was pristine, showing little sign of the previous night’s festivities. Following their shift, the clean-up crew were treated to a well-deserved breakfast at Lewes Town Hall, hosted by Mayor Matthew Bird and councillors including Wendy Maples and Imogen Makepeace. This annual tradition saw the Mayor and councillors serving both traditional English and vegan options in appreciation of the crew’s hard work.
