Craigyhill bonfire builders have addressed "unfair negativity" surrounding this year's world record attempt saying they are doing all they can to ensure it is safe.
Last year the Larne bonfire reached a world record setting height of 202ft,but was not officially recognised by Guinness World Records as they were unable to pay the costs associated with their adjudication.
David, a member of the Craigyhill Bonfire Committee, said the group discussed whether or not to go for an official world record this year, as some were happy knowing what they had achieved the year before. But following a vote, they felt that it was worth one more attempt to be officially recognised, he says.
