Cove and Altens Community Council

Every year the Community Council sources a Community tree, decks it with lights and puts up festive lights on lamp-posts. We know everyone appreciates these efforts to brighten up the dreary winter days over the festive period.

We would like to raise £1,500 this year to expand our stock of lights – but we need your help! Each light costs around £400 to buy but we have them maintained and they last for several years. There is also cost involved with putting them in place and taking them down again.

Children from the two primary schools help to switch on the tree lights with Santa after our Christmas Concert which helps to raise funds towards the festive lighting. This year the switch-on will be on 3rd December at 4.30 pm
