Is this still happening this year? And can you still enter
Hi Nathan,
It appears that only yesterday it was announced that the annual Christmas lights competition will not go ahead this year.
Reading 2 different articles on the same day, it’s even difficult to figure out if the event will go ahead in the future. In one articles, it quoted that “Mayor Tom Tate confirmed the event had been cancelled for good”, while in another it states “That’s not to say that the bus tours couldn’t return sometime in the future, with the Mayor vowing to review the decision in a year’s time.”
The Mayor still suggests people put up their lights – there just won’t be an official event or bus service this year at least.
Thanks
Michael
So how do we enter the competition
Hi Kirsty and Brad,
It was announced earlier this week that the annual Christmas lights competition will not go ahead this year.
The Mayor still suggests people put up their lights – there just won’t be an official event or bus service this year at least.
Thanks
Michael
