Love your High Street? Love Winter?

If you do, then get down to West End Green on Saturday 5th Decemberwhen you're in for a surprise! As part of the Council's campaign to encourage residents to make the most of their local shops, a "festive float" will be visiting the Borough's "high streets" over the next couple of weeks (It started at the amazing Hampstead light switching-on celebrations last Sunday) A winter queen will be enthroned on the float - (we are told she is "Stella Polaris" - the North Star) and publicity for local shops will be handed out. The West End Lane lights should be on by then and our Christmas tree up on the Green. So as long as its not raining...........! Oh and it's all happening between 11.0 and 1.00. Incidentally - have you noticed that one of our Christmas tree lights on the lamp posts is on already - it looks a bit sad on its own! Several people have asked why we don't have a "big switch-on" like Hampstead over our way? What does anyone think?
