17 photos showing debris and rubbish left in Wolverhampton park after fireworks event

Large amounts of debris, including fireworks and drink cups, were left strewn across the park.

The clean-up operation was underway to clean up a Wolverhampton park after the area was left littered in rubbish following a fireworks events.

Phoenix Park in Blakenhall was covered in used fireworks and burnt ground on Monday morning, with a massive event taking place the night before.

Along the paths and in some of the play areas, there were carcasses of fireworks, including some very large multi-round fireworks, while the remains of rockets were found still sticking in the ground.

Refuse collection crews were visible at the scene, working to collect and bag the rubbish and clean up the pavements.

We’ve picked out a number of photos that show the debris left over and the work going on to clear the mess left.

Wolverhampton Council have been contacted for a comment.
