Give Council a break

I READ in a recent Ulster Star, that a reader was annoyed at Lisburn City Council’s Christmas Tree, Saying it was tacky, a waste of rate payers money and that we are times behind with other Cities such as Belfast.

This letter angered me as I was in Lisburn City and it was still being decorated and final touches being made for the lights to be turned on that evening.

I know the reader would have already had to have his letter in order to be printed, So come on give the Council a break! I was at the Switch on with my grandchildren and everyone was saying how good it looked. I have seen Belfast’s tree which is certainly no better than our own tree. So could I say well done to the Lisburn City Council workers for a superb tree. Well done.
