It is not perhaps fully appreciated that the work involved in staging this event is a year-round effort and often doesn't get recognised.The Bonfire Society safety committee, chaired by the town council's representative, Dave Botting, deserves much credit.

I speak from experience, as I was Mr Botting's predecessor and have worked with Richard Cooper, secretary of the Bonfire Society and other representatives, including Phil Jeffery, together with the emergency services, particularly PC Mark Stevens, and Niall Cooper of West Sussex Fire and Rescue as well as Phil Graham, Arun District Council Officer responsible for outside events.

Coles Funfair are also to be congratulated as they work collectively with the rest of the committee to ensure that this annual event is a great spectacle for people to enjoy in maximum safety. Nothing is left to chance.

Congratulations to all those who are a part of the continuing success story that is Littlehampton in Bloom, in particular Margaret Boulton as chairman deserves a special mention, as does John Coombes, for their exceptional work for this organisation. This success would not have been possible without the much-appreciated support and assistance given freely by John Spencer of Spencer Plant Hire, who provided the vehicle and lights for the Littlehampton in Bloom float. Everyone associated with this entry is to be congratulated for their tremendous effort and hard work as it certainly paid off!

Nick Wiltshire,

On behalf of the LibDem Group on Littlehampton Town Council Littlehampton Beach Ward councillor on Littlehampton Town Council and Arun District Council
