He said: “Again, a massive thank you to local companies Hansard Haulage and Timmins Engineering & Construction.
“Without this goodwill and effort it would not have been possible to position the magnificent tree and lights.
“All the volunteers did such a commendable job in such trying conditions - thank you everyone.”
