WELCOME TO SANDERSTEAD!!
Sanderstead is a small village situated in South Croydon which is here…(point anywhere)
It is also populated to almost over 13,000 people
There are 2 railway stations, 3 schools, and 4 churches situated here
Many notable celebrities lived in Sanderstead for a various period of time including Kate Moss, Kieran Gibbs and Ruth Ellis who was the last person to get hung in Britain.
But we're not here to talk about that.
We are here to talk about an important event that has been cancelled recently and has caused controversy amongst our community and that is, The Cancellation of the Sanderstead Fireworks.
The Sanderstead Fireworks has been running for over 40 years and has brought the people of Sanderstead together as one as a community.
In 2014, more than 3,000 people attended the Sanderstead Fireworks at Sanderstead's recreation ground and another 6,000 people were watching on Limpsfield Road, the road leading to the ground, giving a total of 9,000 people watching these fireworks, which is QUITE a lot of people.
This event has affected the community of Sanderstead in very mixed ways. I decided to interview residents of Sanderstead and see how this cancellation has affected them
The fireworks were funded by a company named the Rotary Club of Croydon Jubilee, and they have decided to cancel this great event because they cannot afford the funding for fireworks.
We want to bring them back. We want to send out a message: #BringBackTheLights. We want this message to be spread across the whole community of Sanderstead and to say to the Rotary Club of Croydon Jubilee that we want these fireworks back!
Please join in our cause. We want you to write on Facebook, Twitter, any type of social media a hashtag #BringBackTheLightsToSanderstead. If you can, we want you to write on the Rotary Club's Facebook page to convey this message.
If you want these fireworks back, please let's, as a community, let's #BringBackTheLights
