I was taking some piccies on Saturday but didn't take one of the tree on it's own. It is on the left amongst a blaze of colour.
Accrington centre looks fabulous with the lights up and the tree is very nice, coloured lights would have been good but you can't have everything.
You would have something to complain about if they didn't make an effort.

A few more photos on http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f73/december-2008-a-44334.html

It looks a perfectly fine tree to me.

If we had one as big as the one in Trafalgar Square, a gift from the Norwegian people, you wouldn't be able to get through the doors of the Market Hall.

Perhaps this one is a gift from the people of Burnley.

people complain that they didnt make much effort but if it was a fantastic tree with loads of fancy lights and stuff then people would complain that they wasted money that could be used for roads/pavements/dog poo bins... they cant win either way!

I haven't been to look at it but can see from the photo that was posted of Accy centre at night, that lights are restricted to the top part of the tree where they can't be vandalised.
This is understandable but does give the impression that the lights have been 'underdone'

Looks like you are correct Emma.

Think your right Margaret, seem to remember something about numpties vandalising the tree in previous years, its just a pity that decent people are being deprived of have a well lit tree because of a few yobs
