We hope you have found it helpful. Christmas Lights will be extended this year. On 3rd December the switch-on ceremony in Church Road will start at 4.00pm. The Carnival Queen and Princesses will be there and the lights will be switched on at 4.30pm. During the ceremony mince pies and Christmas fare will be served on the land next to North's bakery.
Raffle tickets are currently available in several shops to help raise funds to pay for the lights.
The Parish Council has given 500, and 2,000 remains to be raised. Forest of Dean stone is to be used and the surrounding area planted with Japanese Maple, dwarf Scots Pine and dwarf Bamboo. The Council expressed some worries over possible vandalism, but it was hoped that CCTV and good lighting would be sufficient deterrent. The feature would take two weeks to install and be finished in time for 3 rd December, when the Xmas lights are to be switched on. Budgens Closure - Almost exactly one year after the opening of Tesco's in Bishop's Cleeve, Budgens closed.
