Thanks to a fund-raising campaign by a coalition of local businesses and residents, the Christmas lights will be back this year, spreading seasonal cheer around the centre of Palmers Green.
The absence of Christmas lights last year was widely regretted by local people and shopkeepers, so this year they got together to raise more than £5000. The council provided a matching amount, ensuring that the high street will be lit up this year and for the next few Christmases at least.
The big switch on will happen on Thursday 15th November, accompanied by carol singing, hot chestnuts and a chance for children to meet the elves and Mr & Mrs Clause. Local shops will be staying open late and there will be a competition for the best shop window decorations.
Brian Lewis, proprieter of the My Time cafe and a member of the committee of the Green Lanes Business Association, expressed his satisfaction at the successful campaign. "This was an amazing effort by businesses, local residents and Enfield Council to pull together the money for a tree and Christmas Lights. It shows that community is strong in Palmers Green, so please come along and enjoy the events"
The Palmers Green lights have been funded by local businesses in conjunction with the Green Lanes Business Association and Enfield Council
Thank you to all these businesses for helping to fund the 2018 Palmers Green Christmas lights
