I AM a West Kirby resident of 48 years and love every minute of living here.

However I am ashamed that at Christmas time, we are the only town without proper lights.

Hoylake, Greasby, Heswall all look lovely.

What is the reason for this?

I am sure that if collection boxes were put in shops most residents would, if asked, each give £1 towards this cause.

All the people I have mentioned this to would be in agreement.

So come on, please can something be done about this then West Kirby would be an even nicer place to live, especially at Christmas.
