Andrew Rosindell MP expressed his disappointment over Havering Council's decision to forgo the annual Christmas lights switch-on, emphasizing the importance of Christmas in local heritage. He argued that the council's claim of having no choice was unfounded, as it is pivotal for the community to embrace its traditions despite financial challenges.
Cllr Ray Morgon defended the council's actions by stating that the lack of Christmas lights is a necessary measure due to funding cuts and rising costs in essential services. He acknowledged the disappointment among residents but emphasized the difficult decisions that must be made in the face of budget constraints.
