ON SUNDAY night some 600 people visited Hillworth Park for Christmas in the Park.
A wander through Fairy Land, a visit to the Mad Hatter’s tea party, through Never Never Land and then meeting Santa – magical.
What a lot of the visitors didn’t realise was that all of the displays and the Christmas lights were vandalised on Saturday night and early Sunday morning.
It was only through the dedication of the Parks department and the officers of the Town Hall that Christmas in the Park carried on. As I was told, “the very worst in people brings out the very best in others”.
How true. Community spirit at its best.
A very well done to all for a lovely evening.
COUN JANE M BURTON
Mayor of Devizes
