Request & Response

Dear Peterborough City Council,

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the
following information on the cost of Christmas light switch-ons in
the area.

Could I please receive the total expenditure by the council on
hosting Christmas light switch on events in the area, including
decorations and lights.

Could I please receive the above for both 2019 and 2020 (if
applicable).

Peterborough City Council spent £66,256.25 on the Christmas Lights
Switch in 2019, this included installation, maintenance of lights, as
well as hosting and advertising the main event.  

In 2020 the total spend was £41.341.07 which covered the costs of
installation, maintenance of lights and hosting a virtual switch on. 
This was a reduction on previous years due to not holding a full
switch event due to the COVID pandemic.
