Cllr Nevitt has thanked AKD Electrical of Crewe for their support and help in stringing the lights and stars on the tree of light in the cemetery.

Boxes with stars to remember loved ones were placed throughout the town recently and the stars have been placed on the Christmas tree.

Last year, crowds turned out to the Tree of Light ceremony which we covered here https://sandbach.nub.news/news/local-news/sandbach-cemetery-shines-brightly-for-the-annual-tree-of-light-ceremony in Sandbach Nub News.
