Saddleworth Illuminations competition winners revealed

THERE was a festive twinkle all around Saddleworth in the run-up to Christmas – with a competitive edge too.

Every year, the parish council runs a friendly Christmas Illuminations competition to see who can come up with the best and brightest displays.

Judges then have the tough choice to decide the best shop window, best public house, best community and best residential property.

As always, there were plenty of brilliant creations showcased throughout the villages – some of which the Independent shared on our social media channels.

Now, the results are in…
