Lewes District Council has extended its gratitude to the hardworking staff who ensured the success of this year’s Lewes Bonfire Night.

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.
