What the notice says

The lighting scheme, whilst spreads beyond the town centre, is the main focus of the annual switch-on event which usually takes place on the last Friday of November.

The council is tendering with a view to agreeing a contract with a supplier to provide, install and maintain Christmas Illuminations for a three-year period (2026/2027/2028) or five-year period. Tender Pack to be given upon enquiry. Please contact louise.salmon@leightonlinslade-tc.gov.uk and rosie.cliffe@leightonlinslade-tc.gov.uk to receive your pack.
