The Chairman introduced the Information Note entitled Christmas Trees in Letchworth.
The District Council would in future provide some fund to Letchworth BID to purchase a Christmas Tree for the Town.
The Council also traditionally provided a Christmas tree to Garden House Hospice, although they have indicated that a tree was not required this year as they had building works planned.
The following Members took part in the debate:
· Councillor Terry Hone;
· Councillor David Levett.
The key points of the discussion were:
· That discussions should be held with the Town Centre Manager to seek their view of placement of the tree;
· That consideration should be given to where the tree should be placed, wither in Broadway Gardens or the Town Centre.
