It is with much disappointment that, due to the second coronavirus lockdown, the Parish Council at their meeting on 5th November, decided to cancel the traditional Elton Tree Lighting event that was scheduled for 6th December.
Since the Parish Council meeting in September, options have been discussed on how to hold a socially-distanced event with no access to the Village Hall, but the latest government restrictions have made this impossible. Technically the current restrictions are due to end on 2nd December. However, these may be extended or alternative conditions in place with no time to organise a compliant event.
Rest assured; our usual Christmas trees will be lit-up by the 1st Sunday in
December.
