Penarth's Christmas lights have been switched on, marking a sparkly end to this difficult year.
A Penarth Town Council spokesperson commented:
"2020 has been a tough year for people across the country and Penarth Town Council hopes that these lights will bring some Christmas cheer to Penarth residents during the darker nights.
"Town Christmas lights serve many purposes, from enticing
shoppers to improving visibility but this year they also symbolise our togetherness at a time when so many are required to be apart." This year, the lights were installed by events management company Production 78. The display is made up of 6000 LED lights and more than a kilometre of cable. All the lights are made from 100% recycled and biodegradable materials making this year's installation the most eco-friendly display to date. The use of LED lights also means that the energy consumption is 10 times less than normal incandescent Christmas light. Duncan Thompson, Company Director at Production 78, commented: "We believe in a circular economy and therefore we reuse or recycle all the components of our decorations. "We hope that this. and by getting the lights up for an extra week this year will further increase the Christmas cheer, in what has been a tough shopping year for businesses in Penarth Town Centre." The Christmas Lights will be on between 3pm and 11pm daily, until the 6th January. Please flick through the gallery above.
