About

Thorne Moorends Council awarded a contract to Blachere Illumination UK Ltd for the delivery and storage of the Christmas lights scheme, including testing, installation, support, and design of the display.

The contract covers a five-year term and is valued at £124,910.

The lights are installed and tested in mid-November, with testing completed at least seven days before the annual Switch On event, held on the Friday closest to 1st December.

Support is required at the event to ensure simultaneous switch-on.
