Notice Title

Christmas Lighting Contract

Notice Description

Leighton Linslade Town Council is proud to provide an annual Christmas Lighting display for its residents. The lighting scheme, whilst spreads beyond the town centre, is the main focus of the annual switch-on event which usually takes place on the last Friday of November. This event attracts over 6,000 revellers and is a positively received tradition within the town. Beyond this, the lights add festivity to the town until the beginning of January. The council is tendering with a view to agreeing a contract with a supplier to provide, install and maintain Christmas Illuminations for a three-year period (2026/2027/2028) or five-year period. Tender Pack to be given upon enquiry. Please contact louise.salmon@leightonlinslade-tc.gov.uk and rosie.cliffe@leightonlinslade-tc.gov.uk to receive your pack.
