Well I have to say that the location isn't the best anyway if we take into account that its the local 'hang out' area for the chavs in particular other than the rhyddings street memorial, but there isn't anywhere else particularly suitable for it that comes to mind.

I dont want to come across as a highly religious person, because I'm not particularly, but I think its sad that one of first symbols of a religion that children can appreciate is not given the visibility it deserves, nor are they given a chance to appreciate it properly.

Chavs might not appreciate flowers and hanging baskets, but I have never witnessed the naticity display being vandalised or neglected, not even a scribble of graffiti on it.

If the glass is an issue, fine, but I wouldve thought that could be solved by shatter proof plastic, or even a slightly raised bench fixed to the floor for the little ones to stand one, and the display inside raised by putting it on a table or something, but to put the window so high up and the display so low down is just a bit too thoughtless in my opinion, and needless to say, a pointless display. Who thinks up of a display that you cant see from a distance, that if you're a child you have to be lifted up to look down on it?
