WHAT a great shame to learn of the possible demise of the Coleford Christmas lights.

Some may recall my letter published last year in which I feared the situation could become a reality.

Given the circumstances the committee cannot be blamed for coming to this decision.

Might this be another nail in Coleford's coffin?

To the committee and all its volunteers: we shall miss you and what you've done. Thank you.

To those who have put obstacle in their way – you know who you are – bah humbug.

– Roger Wood, Coleford.
