Have your say
lights? what lights? you mean them pathetic excuse of christmas lights? I like the ones on the town hall itself but the ones the length of Dalton Road look really tacky and dont exactly bring festive cheer!
Why doesnt the council get local companies to sponsor the replacement of new christmas lighting just like they did with the roundablut floral displays- now theres an idea!Posted by Lights what lights? on 15 November 2012 at 22:29
