Christmas Lights in High Street

[Lizzie]

Does anyone know why we don't have the white lights we have had over the last few years on the trees outside the Town Hall this year? I think they looked really super.

Yes, I'm disappointed about this as well. The lights on the trees were a nice feature on the High Street. Unfortunately, they are not working and the Council does not seem to be prepared to repair/replace them. I believe the person to take this issue up with may be Ian McFadden of the street lighting section. On a more positive note I am assured that there are plans to improve the Town Hall decorations for next Xmas, if that's any consolation.

It may be Capital Christmas uptown but it's a bit of a token effort in Porty. Bah humbug!
