UKIP councillor for Newlands ward, Sid Walker said: “Until now there has never been a Christmas lights display at Garibaldi shops so I have been looking around for sponsors and hope to make this an annual event and build on it each year.”

He added: “With the help of the Independent and UKIP Forum and George Thompson of United Carpets I have raised enough money for this year’s lights.

“George Thompson is a local lad brought up on Garibaldi and has always helped causes in the village. I want to thank him and everybody involved in making this happen.

“If there are any ill or injured young children who we may help feel a little better by switching the lights on, please can they contact me on 01623 451185. If there are more than one they can do it together.”

The switch-on event will be on December 1 at 5pm.
