I DO like to see the Christmas lights in Bromsgrove town centre, but it is a pity that the contractors responsible for erecting them cannot be given an appropriate receptacle in which to place the coloured pieces of tape they use.

Is it really necessary to drop them all over the pavement? This was evident when they put the decorations up in November and recently when they removed them. It does create an uncaring and untidy picture, particularly as one walks along The Strand towards the town.
