Cold Ash Parish Christmas Tree

You may have noticed our new Christmas Tree in the Hermitage Road Recreation Ground.

Cold Ash Parish Council and District Councillor Garth Simpson applied for and won a grant from West Berkshire Council to fund a Christmas Tree and associated LED lighting.

We hope you enjoy the Christmas tree and that it brightens up the recreation ground a little this year.

The Parish Council now plans to fund a Christmas tree every year and we may even have our own ‘switch on’ event next year!

Merry Christmas from Cold Ash Parish Council
