Thanks to the sterling efforts of Sandra Grundy of Millsy’s and Street, there will be Christmas lights in Earlsdon Street after all.  She has managed to negotiate the lights going up this year with contributions from most of the traders.  In the February issue  we will be doing a feature on the lights and the issues involved, to raise awareness for the future, including a list of the traders who contributed to them going up this year and setting out some plans for fundraising next year.  In the meantime Sandra is meeting with the council in the New Year to discuss a way forward.
