On the shortest day of the year, Cllrs Geoff Fuller and Diana Cooper, together with a Special VIP, toured the streets of Westfield to judge the first ever Westfield Christmas Lights Competition.

It was cold and dark, but Westfield was a blaze of light and colour.

The residents of Westfield certainly did us proud, with some truly remarkable displays, well done to you all. It certainly made the judges task very difficult, but, sadly, as with all competitions, there can only be one winner.

This year, with a truly amazing display, it was Mr Kevin Rabbitts, of 7 Ruskin Road.

On receiving his award, Kevin said: “I am really made up, so excited, I have never won anything in my life before.

“After the terrible time that we have all had, I just wanted to cheer people up, and put a smile on their faces.”

Well, he has certainly done that, well done, Kevin!
