I saw your story about Bastins and the Christmas tree in the centre of Trowbridge (Wiltshire Times, December 5) and have thought for many years that it doesn't serve much of a purpose.

It never looks very nice in the day and how many people are in town at night?

It would look so much better to have a sculpture or something.

The tree looks horrible and it's a waste of money.
