This is understandable but does give the impression that the lights have been 'underdone'

Actually, being a bah, humbug type of guy, I wonder, do we really need such frippery when they always threaten at the first short fall such actions as:-
job's are at risk!
Maybe, just, maybe, sense should prevail and instead of the expense of such lights we should, (for example), keep cleaners on the streets?

Yes, O.K. it's only Less thinking, what difference would keeping our streets clean make towards pretending we want our kiddies to be delighted with a mediocre display?

One cleaner on the street versus little coloured lights? Could I please have the cleaner until we can afford the lights?

I absolutely agree with Less - the lights are a waste of our council tax.

How much?..............how many local traders would that subsidise in reduced rents?.....and they would probably put their own lights up.

I think it looks lovely in town with the lights and the tree. Maybe if the morons who think it is fun to get drunk and vandalise everything left things alone we might be able to have all the tree covered in lights.

It is a shame that lights have to be put further up these days, we must have some very tall vandals in Clayton, and Beechy is correct, no wise men in Clayton :( :-
