Purpose

Policy for management of festive displays on
the highway

Decision

Resolved –
That
 
1. 
The Festive Display Policy as set out at Appendix 1 of the
report be approved; and

 

2. 
The Committee recognises the tremendous effort, dedication, and
countless hours local residents invest in ensuring the lights shine
brilliantly year after year. The joy they bring to people of all
ages and the sense of community they foster in our towns is truly
an invaluable asset in Wirral. It is not just about flipping a
switch in November; planning begins as early as the Summer for some
groups. We commend all the volunteers who work tirelessly to make
this endeavour a success. Having listened to feedback from various
lights groups, we recognise the paramount importance of consulting
and engaging with them whenever feasible. This approach helps
establish working relationships that benefit all relevant
stakeholders involved in the process.
