tomtom Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Really like the lights on Front Street this year - the trees look fabulous decked out with a myriad of bulbs. Good on you Bedlington - keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on you Bedlington - keep it up.Anyone seen the lights in the station ? no? thought so, neither has anyone else, What a bloody joke, at least they save on erection and dismantling costs 'cos they have been up for 3 years solid. We must be the laughing stock of South East Northumberland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.A.W.S. Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Front Street lights are OK but switch-on ceremony was a bit plodding again. Can we get a lively compère next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from anything else, they switched them on and nothing happened, Apparently no-one from the council turned up with the proper fuse. They're still not on .

Adam Hogg Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Front Street lights are OK but switch-on ceremony was a bit plodding again. Can we get a lively compère next year?The front steet looks ok but the lights could have done with working, I counted at least 3 lights that did not work, they should all be working correctly.

Keith Scantlebury Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) The reason why the xmas lights in the Station weren't switched on this year.......... THE CHIP SHOP IS CLOSED. Apparrently, the switch is in there and as the business is closed, no-one could get in to switch the lights on. I am sure if someone HAD RANG THE LETTING AGENT, they would have been only too happy to send someone with a key so the lights could be switched on and when the time comes, off. The agents phone number, oh aye, its printed on the TO LET sign above the shop. ......... its not rocket science Edited December 27, 2012 by keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Scantlebury Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Who pays for the electricity Keith?That ! I do not know. Could be that the traders all chip in for it, as the switch is in the chip shop at the end of Ravensworth Tce. The lights were a joint thing with the traders and the Parish council as far as I know, they have been up for about 3 years now and never taken down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobius Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 The street lights on the Front Street looked wonderful, certainly the best I've seen for a long time. The tree was especially impressive, well done to everyone who was involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
