THE Christmas lights in the High Street will be clear for the first time this year at the request of traders who want to set a snowy traditional scene in the historic centre of the town.

But with cash tight – the Christmas Lights committee have been running at a deficit over the past couple of years – there will be no new displays this December.

Lights will be going up in early November but will not be lit until after Remembrance Sunday.
