A FIREWORKS display which was due to take place in Christchurch this evening has been cancelled.
The established event at Stanpit, organised by Christchurch Rotary, has been called off due to the weather.
A statement from Christchurch Rotary said: "It is with deepest regret that Christchurch Rotary Club have had to cancel the firework display this evening due to adverse weather conditions.
"The decision was made this morning following new information on the developing weather fronts which are expected to continue to gust at up to force eight through the evening.
"It was deemed unsafe to continue with preparations in these conditions and would definitely be unsafe to continue with our display.
"Thank you for your support, which helps many charitable causes."
