The Hallowe'en Fireworks events scheduled for Enniskillen and Omagh have been cancelled six days before they were due to take place due to "the scale of the immediate financial pressures" on the Council.
The Fermanagh and Omagh District Council’s Halloween Fireworks events - due to take place at 6pm next Monday, October 31 - will now no longer take place.
In a statement, a Council spokesperson said: "Given the scale of the immediate financial pressures on the Council, together with the wider cost of living crisis, the Council has been required to re-prioritise its budgets to ensure that it can meet its core financial obligations.
"The Council is aware of the challenges households face in the coming months and is undertaking a wider review of budgets and is working with its statutory partners, local support organisations, and charities to develop schemes to support residents in our district through the cost of living crisis."
