FEW spaces remain for businesses wishing to sponsor Christmas lights which will illuminate Stourport town centre this festive season.

There are less than 10 lights available for sponsorship ahead of the November 23 switch-on in Lombard Street, New Street, York Street and High Street.

Stourport Town Council and Stourport Town Centre Management Forum have organised entertainment in the town on the afternoon of the switch-on in the shape of the annual Three Kings Parade, but Mr Roberts is on the lookout for more activities.

He said: "We have the Stourport Scout and Guide Band, Stourport High School Orchestra, Lickhill Middle School choir and Morning Dew playing at various places.

"However, we want more acts such as jugglers and fire-eaters who will be paid for their performances."

The council, forum and PLM Illuminations will sponsor 200 lights on the Christmas tree in Villeneuve-le-Roi Gardens, but Mr Roberts added others could still sponsor lights in the surrounding area.

The lights cost from £350 but the amount can be shared between companies and sponsors keep the illuminations for no extra payment in future years.

For further details call Mr Roberts on 01299 826930.
