Would the stall holders(the Victorian themed ones, I mean) make that much mess?
Couldn't they be asked to leave their rubbish in bags to be picked up....or better still couldn't one of those large refuse receptacles be place behind the fish market for the temporary stall holder to put their rubbish into.
And as for cost....well it could come out of the 'not having fireworks' fund.
What has to be present though, is the will and desire to see a different evening produced.....if that can't be mustered up, then all is lost and we can keep having the same old, same old...no different from anyone else's switch on.
Do we want to be sheep...wouldn't we rather be monkeys??

quite right margaret. where there's a will there's a relative, it is possible, there is a way round everything if people can be bothered to find it. if an event is going to happen then the traders will work around it providing they know about it well in advance. in my experience providing people know there is going to be a slight change for a special event then they will help, bearing in mind they have already been given the option to open and refused it.
christmas is about families and especially the children and there is NO reason why we shouldn't have an event centered around that. why oh why are people so negative and defeatist when we should be looking at positive change and ways of profiting in this economic downturn. what is wrong with trying to bring extra money into the town,promoting enterprise and having community focussed events or are we suddenly an 'all for one and one for one town' as i always perceived accrington to be much better than that.
