The Christmas Lights will go up this Sunday throughout Oakham Town Centre.
There will be no official switch on.
Some Cllrs would like to see this become an event but each time it is rejected by the Town Clerk, the logistics would be to complicated.
It is never two complicated for lots of other small towns who use helpers and two way radios to give the illusion of simultaneous switch on.
Maybe next Christmas the clerk could use the nice mobile the council purchased and he could send a sms message to a group of helpers?
