£6,000 Xmas lights for Junction

December 6, 2002 12:00 AM

There will be Christmas lights in the Junction area this year thanks to money donated from the Liberal Democrat Council and local traders. Local traders have donated £2,940 for Christmas lights in the Junction area this year and the Council have matched this with a further £2,940 for the lights. This means that nearly £6,000 will go towards lighting up Junction this year. The Council working in partnership with the traders had been exploring various options for the lights in this area and consulting with the local community. Junction ward Liberal Democrat councillor, Stefan Kasprzyk said: "This has taken an awful lot of hard work and years of campaigning but we've finally done it! When we were elected we made a promise to get these lights and we have kept this promise. "Thanks must go to local traders and the Council who both worked hard to raise money and get these lights. This just shows what can be done if the local community and the Lib Dem Council work hand-in-hand." There will be a ceremony to turn on the Christmas lights at Junction on Saturday 7th December at 4.30pm.
