Roads across Blackheath Village shut from 3.30pm on Saturday 7 November until midnight, including Tranquil Vale, Montpelier Vale, Royal Parade, Montpelier Row, Prince Charles Road and Lee Road. Hare and Billet Road, Goffers Road, Talbot Place and Duke Humphrey Road are also on the list. The organisers say these are the widest possible timings and closures are likely to be shorter.
Gates open at 5pm, the fireworks start at 8pm and run for up to 25 minutes, and there is a 10pm curfew. The site has moved north, next to Shooters Hill Road, away from All Saints Church. The exclusion zone east of Prince Charles Road is closed from Friday evening and should be clear by Monday 9 November, but the path between Vanbrugh Terrace and the Princess of Wales Pond stays open. Residents can call a dedicated line on 01749 574016.
Anyone driving through the Village on Saturday afternoon should plan to be elsewhere, and leave extra time for any journey that normally crosses it.
