WHAT a disappointment it was that Evesham town and Twyford put on major events on the same day and time. Santa and fireworks at Twyford, Santa and the switch on of the lights in town.

Second big disappointment the lights or at least the lack of them in Evesham, they are simply absolutely pathetic.

What's happened to the pretty white lights in the trees that lined the main road through town.

The town council should be ashamed of themselves this year.

Thank god the tenants of Evesham who decorate their homes outside encourage people to come here and may be shop, because it appears the shops or council don't wish to encourage it.

I bet there's no comparison to Pershore lights and here.

We should be ashamed - I am.
