FOI request (FOIR-766389224)

Christmas lights switch-on 2025

Requested Tue 18 November 2025
Responded Tue 25 November 2025

Has your local authority held, or does it plan to hold, a Christmas lights switch-on or similar event in October, November or December 2025?

If 'no', then no further questions apply and, to save you time, a response simply stating 'No' will suffice. If you can advise which organisation has organised a switch-on in your area, then please either forward this request to their FOI team and let me know you have done so, or provide the relevant contact details.

If 'yes', then please confirm the following:

1. Who performed (or will perform) the switch-on and/or who performed (or will perform) at the event?

2. Were they (or will they be) paid a fee to do so? If so, how much were they paid (or will they be paid)? If more than one person was involved, please provide a breakdown.

3. Were (or will) any expenses be paid, either in addition to any fee or instead of a fee? If so, please provide a breakdown of these.
