Honicknowle Green celebrated November 5 or Guy Fawkes night with a traditional bonfire and large fireworks display, most of this display was organised and funded by local citizens. However, due to new local restrictions and regulations, there is no longer an annual bonfire. Politics Honicknowle is part of the Plymouth Devonport constituency, which is subject to boundary changes for the 2009/2010 general election. They are thus: northern parts, including St. Budeaux, of the current constituency will become Plymouth Moor View and the rest will join with parts of Plymouth Sutton to form Plymouth Sutton and Devonport. The seat was won by Alison Seabeck (Labour party) in the 2005 general election.
