Chamber of Trade's bid for Christmas lights cash to be decided
 Burnham-On-Sea
Chamber
Of Trade is due to hear this week whether its application for
a £2,500 grant from Sedgemoor District Council to update
the town's Christmas lights is to be given the green light.
The
Grants Award Panel is due to decide whether to provide funding
to help the Chamber's £7,000 project to supply, replace
and erect lights along the High Street, Victoria Street and College
Street.
The grant request is for 32 per cent of the project's overall
cost. Under the proposals, a total of £4,788 is to be spent
on new lights in the coming months while the remainder will be
spent on installation.
Meanwhile,
it's been confirmed this week that Burnham-On-Sea's Christmas
lights will be switched on along the town's High Street on Saturday
November 25th.
The
festive light-up will be held, as normal, at the southern end
of the main shopping area in front of the Somerset and Dorset
pub and a celebrity may also be enlisted to perform the switch-on.
John
Edwards, Chairman of Burnham-On-Sea's Chamber of Trade, which
oversees the illuminations, said on Wednesday that a TV weather
presenter had been approached, along with several other well-known
faces.
