Christmas lights to go on in Fordingbridge but with no ceremony
This year the town will be illuminated with 'new and improved' lights.
The traditional ‘Christmas In Fordingbridge and Christmas Light Switch On’ event isn't taking place this year due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
Fordingbridge Town Council says it's "extremely disappointed" but the safety of the community is paramount.
New lights have been purchased to adorn the town centre which the Council say will "provide a resplendent and festive display."
Free parking will be available on a number of weekends in December.

Meanwhile a campaign launched earlier this year to encourage people to shop locally will continue throughout the festive period.
‘Keep The Heart Beating In Fordingbridge’ was set up by local businesses in response to the coronavirus pandemic
