Oakham Town Christmas Lights Not So Green

Oakham Town Christmas Lights Not So Green

Each year Oakham Town Council spend thousands of pounds of tax payers money putting up and taking down Christmas Lights.

They also spend thousands each year, purchasing new light bulbs.

I asked what happens to the old bulbs? They are binned is the reply!

What a waste of money and resources.

I am not saying the town should not have Christmas Lights, only there must be a cheaper and less wasteful solution.

I wonder how many other council bin their bulbs?

The Clerk has asked the Council if he can obtain 3 quotes for new lights using LED bulbs.
