Christmas Tree
- Thread starter maxthecollie
- Start date
Last year I asked my local councillor about fitting a cabinet outside St.Anne's school to contain a defibrulator to save lives instead of spending all that money.We have never had a Christmas Tree before so why start in 2014? The council had their own way as usual
I am pleased that you do not subscribe to having no Christmas trees. As to whether I consider it a necessary job or not, well is it really necessary for any Christmas tree to be put up, regardless of the day of the week? It isn't, but it's nice to see, and it's only once a year.
You are right. Christmas Trees are NOT a necessity, but do brighten up the environment.
However, in times when money is tight(like now) you have to prioritise the work being done at premium rates...which is quite plainly what is not being done.
I am not complaining or whinging...and had you not brought up the subject, would have quietly kept these thoughts to myself...but I am sure that if I am thnking them, then others are too.

Now I don't know if this is true or not, but someone on Hyndburn Chat has said these were not council workers, but workers who had been sub contracted to plant trees at a fixed price in the area, hence why they were working on Sunday. I emphasise I don't know if this is true or not.

iv got a tree for my house i dont need one outside
town center fair enough it helps traders and makes going into town a littl emore brighter and lets face it accy needs all the help it can get
anywhere else is a waste whoever is paying for them.
if someone wants to put one up out of private money then fair enough but public money no wether it be direct from the council or the council giving a grant theres no need for public money to be wasted on xmas trees etc outside of town center
remember times are hard , they must be the way moneys been splashed around and then they will cut something away like public toilets
merry grinchmas everybody

It may be that they considered that Sunday is the day with the least pedestrian traffic so the safest day to put it up.
Or that it was not delivered until Saturday and they had nowhere to put it.
Or that the guys putting it up were not actually council workers but from the company paid to deliver and erect the tree.

to be honest by the time christmas gets here im sick of it
morons putting xmas lights and trees up in october , november , shops flooding the shelves with xmas stock in the same period and now even the authorities are setting about xmas early
went to buy a birthday card the other day and there wasnt much choice because half the shops stock had been removed to make way for 8 sections of shelving dedicated to xmas cards
i wish shops would click on that people will buy what they need for xmas regardless of when they put their stock out
roll on december the 31st when they put easter eggs on the shelves
no sooner have the shops finished emptying our pockets to celebrate jesus's birth they are shoving stuff in our faces to remember his death
if anything street outlets drive me to shop online at least shopping online i dont get battered with unwarranted guff and annoying xmas music in november
