A Ludlow councillor says he is 'horrified' by a suggestion that the town could use an artificial Christmas tree in its festive celebrations
Ludlow Town Council is consulting on replacing its Christmas lights and 'most controversially' according to Councillor Andy Boddington this includes replacing the town's traditional tree with an artificial one.
"People like to walk through town centres and see the decorations. The higher footfall over the period is good for our markets and independent traders, including our annual festive events, Tinsel Tuesday markets, the Christmas lights switch-on and the new Winter Festival. Most shops decorate their windows, some with quite elaborate schemes."
The spokesman said:"Ludlow Town Council’s Christmas Lights consultation is open until May 12 and we are receiving some great responses. "The survey includes opportunities for residents and businesses to say what they would like, and what they do not want to see in Ludlow. And one of the options is a reusable Christmas tree," said the spokesman.
