Oakham Town Council Christmas Lights and Tree Switch On 2018

Oakham Town Council Christmas Lights and Tree Switch On


It is that time of the year again we await the splendour of Oakham Town Councils Christmas
Light Switch On.

We have spent more money renting a lot less lights and the council who have lost the ability to
obtain a traditional Christmas Tree, have opted to rent a plastic cone for the next three years.

Lights will be put up on in the high street and the market place.

I did not raise this in the meeting as I would have been ignored. We were once again mislead,
We were told the company was a local one based in Market Harborough. I think a couple
of our member fell for the charm of the sales rep.

The Christmas Decorators Ltd
Units A1 - A3
Speke Business Park
Sprint Way
Liverpool
L24 9AB      has 50 offices spread over the UK so it is clearly a very local independent company!




Sunday 2nd December 4 o clock is the planned time for the 2018 switch on.
