Festive Lights appeals to local community for help

Mill Road Festive Lights, the group responsible for the first ever Mill Road Lights last Christmas, is asking local people to get involved with the Lights Project this year. The not-for-profit community association is asking for volunteers to help make the display bigger and better in 2010.

David Hollingsbee, organiser of the Lights said: “As well as the job of putting the Lights up and planning the Switch On, we need people to speak to Mill Road traders, and we also need help with fundraising and publicity. If you live near Mill Road, or if you care about the area, then we want to hear from you!”

Anyone who thinks they can spare some time to get involved should either contact us through this website, or call into Cutlacks on Mill Road and speak to the manager, Steve Wynn.

The first ever Mill Road Lights were turned on at 5 o’clock on Saturday 14 November by lucky raffle winner, Harry. Hundreds of people came along to watch the Christmas Switch On event, with many taking advantage of free face painting and children’s crafts. CSD Brass Band provided festive music.
