Yeh, you right, we will be the forgotten 'appendages'.

There is a crib, saw it tonight, but nought else apart from the blue lights strung around the tree at the lights.

Sorry, would be lovely to have some in Whalley Road too right up to Dill Hall Lights .. tend to forget about you topenders ..

I have just noticed tonight that there seems to be a naked Christmas tree next to that crib at the bottom of Dill Hall. Then there are those blue lights on the other trees. Seems a bit odd.

Expect they just leave it to the council workers to arrange the lights .. no designers like .. sure they do their best, but can't expect Sandringham standards (organised by Blackpool lights committee) can we ?

Blue seems to be the trend this year.

I do like the blue. I just can't make sense of the location. (ie not on the Christmas Tree)

Expect only so many allowed within the budget .. so have to spread it around. Certainly had some last year, and good location too .. comes under Church, which was probably low budget this year.

Report by Graham Jones in the Observer on this, but doesn't mention Church or Clayton.

Oswaldtwistle : £9,493.20 (lol.. very definite amount .. was the 20p for extra light bulb ?). Councillor Britcliffe's area please note.
Baxenden: £ 1,163,70.

Bit of a gap there but seemingly decided by the area councils on how they spend their money. I think is money well spent, as gives us folks a 'feel-good factor'

Pleaseeeee do we really need another thread on the proposed name change or not whatever the case may be???

No, that was just a thread wander Bernie, we're back on track now moaning about the lack of Christmas lights in some areas.
