Newcastle Council has announced it will cancel its midnight fireworks on New Years Eve in a bid to create a better 9pm display.
Tourism and Economic Development Manager Jan ross says the 9pm fireworks are the most watched.
“We have found in past years that midnight is far too late for families and everyone else preparing to watch the clock tick over to the new year is usually settled in at other venues by then,” she said.

Newcastle city councel shouldnt cancel the fireworks at 12 we celebrate the new year at midnight… We dont celebrate new years at nine oclock at night that stupid please keep the fireworks at midnight im begging you 🙂
9pm to celebrate New Year is very strange. Lets celebrate the new year when it arrives at midnight.
The little kids that watch the fireworks at 9pm wont know any different. The main event is midnight so the main fireworks should be kept for then!
Newcastle can hardly claim to have any kind of new years eve celebration without fireworks at midnight. Since when were families the only demographic worth catering to?? Lame!
