Join members of The Town Council on Saturday, November 28th when they celebrate the installation of new energy efficient Christmas lighting in the town. They have organised a fun-filled event that can also help householders and businesses save money.

Ross will sparkle with a beautiful and innovative light display that is also highly energy efficient, reducing pollution and saving money at the same time. The Town Council hopes this will generate lots of positive publicity to encourage shoppers into the town to join in the festivities.

This year, there is a competition for the best Christmas light displays, with separate categories for householders and retailers. But, in order to encourage energy efficiency , only displays using all energy efficient LED lights will be eligible to win. There is no need to enter - Councillors will tour the Town in the first week of December to judge the event and the winners will be announced at the Town Council meeting on December 14th.

Marches Energy Agency and Rudolph will be visiting Tudorville and Three Crosses on Saturday, December 12th to admire the fine displays of household lights and to give out advice on how to get more light for less energy and less money.

The Ross Christmas lights project has been supported by Natural England's Sustainable Development Fund in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Ross Town Council is grateful for this support
