To receive and consider the report from the Operations & Estates Officer regarding this years Christmas Events - Christmas Lights Switch-on and the Advent Fayre

The Committee received and considered the report of the Operations and Estates Officer in respect of the Advent Fayre and the Christmas Lights Switch On.  Although the latter was organised by the Rotary Club of Witney and grant funded by the Council –the Town Clerk had been advised that Rotary wouldn’t be in a position to put on this years event.  Consequently, Officers considered that the Advent Fayre was too high risk given the nature of the event.

Members understood the recommendations and supported this.

RESOLVED:          that the report be noted and:

1.            that this year’s Christmas Lights Switch On and Advent Fayre be cancelled due to the pandemic.
