Firework sales have significantly increased ahead of Bonfire Night after a number of November 5 events have been called off.
Leeds City Council has cancelled six bonfire and fireworks events due to "significant budget pressures". The bonfires would have cost council over £200,000 if they had gone ahead but the council has been cutting all non-essential spending.
Residents have accused the local authority of "stealing" their money and fun. "They literally may as well lock us up", one angry resident said.
