IT HAS already felt a lot like Christmas across the district with all the festivities which have been going on.
From the numerous lights switch-ons and a lantern parade to the best-dressed window and the Chairman’s carol service.
The district really pulled together to make the run-up to Christmas really special.
As part of my role as chairman I am lucky enough to visit residents and organisations across the whole district and I am always astounded at the sense of community spirit which is present.
And while Christmas is about the parties and the family gatherings, it’s a time to remember the people who may be spending it alone.
A kind word or a smile or even a visit to one of your neighbours may be the best present they have this year.
So, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2018.
Coun Helen Jones
Chairman
Bromsgrove District Council
