An annual New Year's Eve fireworks display could be scrapped in an effort to reduce carbon emissions.
Between 2,000 and 3,000 individuals are estimated to have attended the most recent spectacle in Croxley Green, which was described as “the best yet”.
But the event could possibly no longer take place in the future, or see extreme alterations, as members of the public are being asked to submit their thoughts.
A consultation has launched highlighting the “disadvantages” to fireworks, including noise, smoking air and land pollution.
Croxley Green Parish Council has now questioned whether any changes should be made, stating they want to be “keep our environmental footprint small”.
It has put into question whether the annual event will continue, as one question in the form specifically asks: “Should the Parish Council continue to stage an annual display?”
The parish council said: "Croxley Green Parish Council strongly believes that residents should be consulted over how their money is spent.
"The display has been running for a number of years and was first introduced before the majority of the current Councillors were part of the council.
"The aim is to see whether residents think that the event should continue in it's current form, or if some changes should be made."
A spokesperson said that the council is "not advocating" for any specific outcomes or alterations and instead it is down to hear the public come to their own conclusions on how the event could be improved.
