Medway: Christmas lights cancelled by council
By Stuart MaisnerBBC News
A council has cancelled all its Christmas Lights for 2023 due to a " challenging financial situation".
Medway Council in Kent said it made the " sad and difficult decision" after identifying a potential overspend of £17m for this financial year.
The Council , which went from Conservative to Labour in May, said The Move would save £75,000.
Council leader Vince Maple said he had " no choice but to make these tough decisions".
A report in September predicted.
Mr Maple said: " We Are making these incredibly difficult decisions to reduce the potential overspend and to ensure we can continue to provide essential services that We Are required to provide by law.
" I Am pleased local ward councillors are still able to fund a Christmas tree in each town. "
" We will continue to work closely with Our Town centre businesses to explore further ways to support them This Christmas . "
Tens of thousands of people flock to the Medway towns every December for the Rochester Dickensian Christmas Festival.
Medway Council said that event, along with a Christmas Market in Rochester Castle Gardens over three weekends, will go ahead as planned.
