Well-known local businessman, Frank Rothwell, was scheduled to switch on the lights but was with Oldham Athletic in London. Cllr Helen Bishop stepped in to perform the big switch on at the event on Chew Valley Road

She performed the countdown and switch-on of the tree lights and the gathering enjoyed Christmas carols and songs accompanied by Greenfield Silver Band.

The celebrations continued after with refreshments at Boarshurst Band Club, donated by Tesco Greenfield.

Organisers Street Scene Greenfield said: “Our tree has grown enormously and is now a splendid specimen, especially when enhanced by the colourful Christmas lights and shining star.”
