The Christmas lights have been switched on across Willenhall in-spite of a Scrooge like attempt by Walsall’s Tory cabinet to restrict the festive lights to District Centres only reports Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Shires.

The LNP also ensured that shoppers in Short Heath and New Invention weren’t left out by sponsoring the lights in High Road, Lane Head, and at The Square, Lichfield Road.
