“To "by hoppy" - santa and mrs claus were far superior to the santa in freshney place, black eyebrows, taking his beard off to speak to the children HOW TERRIBLE. I think Freshney Place were very jeaslous of the REAL SANTA walking through the town centre (to which he had a legal right to do so). And... do you honestly think the couple would risk not having been checked??!!! They were a very respectable couple who were willing to show the Crb check to whoever wished to see it..... check your facts before leaving your comments”

“I know Clint Eastwood is the man with no name, but who was the Santa and Mrs Clause, who ruffled the feathers of the management of Freshney Place? these two well dressed entertainers, were being hassled by the secutity guards from one end of Freshney Place to the other, they were doing no harm, were very popular, and brightened up my life in particular, i followed them through Freshney Place and witnessed the unwarrented hassle they were getting, this sort of treatment i find to be disgusting, they brought a lot of joy and happiness to all the children,(and adults alike) that saw them, thats what its all about, rock on Santa and Mrs Claus, whoever you are.”

“And for Christmas 2013 it has been decided that there will be no lights, or a switch on, or decorations. But you will still moan.
The council arrange something, you moan. The council do nothing, you still moan. I am no fan of NELC but get a grip people. Give credit where credit s due.
Bah humbug.......”

“Thank goodness we are moving on from the dire show last year... the parade of light is a lovely idea for the school children but not very exciting for the rest of the town. Looking forward to being in town tonight and there being a buzz around and a bit of atmosphere!
One thing though - Freshney Place have had their lights on all week..... could they not have waiting and joined the festivities tonight?!”
