AGAIN lovely Christmas lights and decorations in Eastleigh for the festive season.

I always like to be shopping in the area around dusk so I can appreciate the display there. So congratulations again, Eastleigh, for doing this display without fail every year.

Southampton, a much bigger place, cannot even manage one Christmas light decoration. What makes the councillors think that tacky markets in the city centre are a good replacement for festive lights and a Christmas tree?
