Leigh Lights Switch-on
Leigh Lights for 2007 will be held on Friday 30th November starting from 4pm (switch-on at 6pm)
Every year the Leigh Christmas Lights, which stretch over a mile from Belton Corner along Rectory Grove, Broadway West, the Broadway and Leigh Road, as well as part of Elm Road are switched on.
As usual, the switch-on was accompanied by a procession through the streets, bands and entertainers for the thousands of people who turned up for the event.
The Town Council was supported by a large number of traders who both made a generous contribution to the lights and also stayed open for the event. Many local churches and other organisations, too numerous to mention individually, also gave their help and support.
