Moreton Christmas Lights

Steve Williams, Mary Connolly, Leah Fraser, Beryl Jones and the Mayor, Cllr Andrew Hodson

I attended the ‘Grand Switch On’ of the Moreton Christmas lights earlier this evening along with Steve Williams, Cllr Chris Blakeley, Cllr Simon Mountney and Cllr Ian Lewis.  The Mayor of Wirral, Cllr Andrew Hodson officially switched on the lights and luckily the rain kept off long enough and everything went according to plan.

Before the Mayor arrived everyone was entertained at the Coach and Horses pub by Bob and his disco and some real Christmas rocking songs by local group ‘Insanity Beach’.  Afterwards the Mayor drew the raffle and everyone tucked into the buffet.  Thanks also the Ben, Manager of the pub.

Beryl Jones is the Chair of Moreton Community Lights Association and originally campaigned for Christmas lights to come back to Moreton over five years ago.  Since then she and her team have raised funds, organised the lights and the switchon.  Sadly, this is Beryl’s last year organising the event - she’ll be missed.
