AS a local councillor I have been impressed by the many displays of colourful Christmas decorations at the front of properties throughout the Ribble Valley and indeed Lancashire.
As I have been going round the area, many senior citizens and families with young children have told me how much they enjoy seeing all the colourful displays outside local homes and businesses.
Displays such as these give great pleasure to many people and help brighten up our local area throughout the festive season. I know it takes a lot of time, effort and money to decorate their homes, gardens and business premises.
I just wanted to say 'thank you' to all those homeowners and businesses for brightening up this area at Christmas.
With best wishes to them for the New Year.
MARK ALCOCK, Liberal Democrat Councillor for Farington West.
