After a successful Crescent late night shopping I wanted to say a quick thank you to those that made it the success it was.
Whilst working on the Spalding in Bloom baskets this year Coun Sheard and I were asked if a late night Christmas shopping event was possible.
After a lot of paperwork and interaction with stall holders, shop owners, councils, highways, etc, the Spalding Town Forum was able to put together our first Christmas event.
I just wanted to say thank you to the stall holders who turned out even with the deteriorating weather conditions, thank you to the shops that stayed open, thank you to the South Holland District Council chairman, Coun Woolf, and his glamorous assistant Samantha for the Santa Grotto and thank you to Coun Sheard who did nearly all the work to make the event go so well.
I would especially like to thank all the public that visited and made purchases from our town shops.
Please, please, please think about shopping locally this Christmas, our town businesses need as much support as possible, thank you from the Spalding Town Forum and we wish you all a merry Christmas.
Coun Robert Gibson
Leader of South Holland Independents
