Dear Leicester City Council,
The purpose of this request is to gather data on the average figure the council spends on Christmas lights and decorations.
Specifically, I am seeking information on the following:
1. The annual spend on Christmas lights per year, for the following years:
• 2023
• 2024 (estimated)
2. The annual spend on Christmas decorations (e.g. trees), for the following years:
• 2023
• 2024 (estimated)
3. Have you re-used Christmas Decorations / Lights from a previous year
Yes
No
4. The amount spent by the council on celebrities to turn on Christmas Lights
• In 2023
• In 2024 (predicted)
5. Name of celebrity who turned on Christmas lights for the Council
• In 2023
• In 2024 (predicted)
For the purpose of this FOI, a celebrity is not the local mayor or MP. Anyone who has appeared on television, reality television, it is people in the media. Athletes, authors, ect.
Yours faithfully,
Matt hillier
