A petition calling for Lancaster's annual fireworks display to be saved will be debated at a council meeting this evening.
The 'Save Lancaster Fireworks' campaign has been organised by local photographer Josh Brandwood who said that 82 city businesses signed the petition.
He said the petition has been submitted to Lancaster City Council, who last month announced they were scrapping this year's display.
Instead they will be extending the Light Up Lancaster festival to three days from the usual two.
Councillors will discuss the petition at their meeting at Morecambe Town Hall later (Wednesday September 27) at 6pm. This meeting is open to the public.
Mr Brandwood (pictured below) has asked supporters to gather on the town hall steps ahead of the start of the meeting.
''This evening, our local councillors will discuss my petition to bring back Lancaster's beloved annual fireworks display in November,'' he said.
''I invite everyone, including businesses, to gather outside Morecambe Town Hall for 6pm to show our support and ask the City Council to reconsider their decision. We will then enter the public gallery to witness the debate.
''Speaking in front of 61 councillors can be intimidating, but it's crucial that we highlight how much this tradition means to our community. Failing to do so could hurt our campaign. As we near our last chance before November, I sincerely ask for your support. I emphasise its importance because it truly matters.
''Let's revive the unity we saw when the council first announced the fireworks' cancellation.
''Your presence can make a real difference. Together, we can advocate for the fireworks that define our community spirit.''

Lancaster City Council has said that the Fireworks Spectacular will not go ahead in November, for several reasons, one of which is the cost of £35,000 for a 17-minute display, and the impact loud fireworks displays have on domestic pets and wildlife.
