England's Lane Xmas Tree Lights Switch On

Comedian and local resident Neil Mullarky gets instructions from Cllr Alexis Rowell on what to say to the crowd! I can exclusively reveal that he was telling them that the tree was paid for by England's Lane residents, with all except three contributing. The lights were cabled up by Camden Council's street lighting dept. The decorations were made out of household rubbish (see photos) by pupils from St Paul's Primary, South Hampstead School for Girls and by the St Mary's Youth Group. The Belsize Police Safer Neighbourhoods Team came in on a rest day to control traffic. Mulled wine was provided by the Washington pub. Tesco laid on mince pies and other goodies. And the organisers were me, Serdar Basoglu, manager of the Tesco in England's Lane, and Anna Maynard and Jan Morrison from the Belsize Lib Dems. Thanks everyone. A fantastic community achievement.
