Christmas Lights Oakham Photographs Oakham Town Council

Today the town council completed spending nearly £16,000 putting up the Christmas lights.

A Leicestershire Police officer said they look rubbish, I agree and each year it has got worse and members of the council always thank the Clerk for his work. I am not sure who to blame you can't blame the tree surgeon who charges nearly £10,000 to put them up and take them down, the blame lays at the door of the whole council.

For the third year one of the main illuminations has not been lit for 3 years because there is no where to plug it in!
Knowing this the council still pays to have it hung across the road.

 




The illumination on the wall of the brothel (confirmed as a brothel at a town council meeting by our Deputy Mayor Cllr Charles Haworth) has not been connected its cable was left lying across the footpath.


Many decorations damaged not working.


Melton Road no socket



The area outside the school and post office are working to the left in the market place many bulbs are blown.

I wonder where they £2000+ spent each year on new bulbs goes.



They thought it would be good this year to hang this one upside down.
The High Street has many dud bulbs.





The Christmas tree shown from its best side, one set of lights not working.

Quite a few bulbs missing and not working in Gaol Street, watch out for the broken ones on the path.

It not bad what you get for £16,000 well done OTC

Something tells me the Clerk won't object to this post as it will help his project to spend thousands next year on new lights for the town.
