The public will decide on whether something is a 'waste', or is good value for money, or not, only after all the costs involved have been made public.
Until then, 'waste', 'value for money', and things like 'worth', or all subjective terms. They can't possibly be judged, until all the finances are made known.
You mention the costs of attracting high profile celebrities.
What on earth makes you think that people want whatever list of celebrity involved?
When did Christmas become about 'celebrity'?
People associate Christmas with tradition, not some naff has been.
This isn't your fault. It's the lazy arse person at the council, who lacking their own vision, passed the job over to you.
