MAY I take this opportunity on behalf of the Chippenham Town Centre Management Partnership to thank everyone who supported the Chippenham Christmas lights switch on last Friday evening.

A big thank you to the endless list of people who contributed towards this event, including the stall holders, retailers who opened for late night shopping, Charter Primary School for decorating the Christmas tree, local clubs, entertainers, volunteers, the emergency services and Chippenham Town Council who, once again, are dazzling the town with their superb Christmas lights display.

Last, but by no means least, a special thank you to the many thousands of people who joined in the activities on the night and continue to make the Christmas lights switch on an enormous success.

EMMA KING,

Town Promotion and Events Officer,

Chippenham Town Council.
