Council replaces Christmas tree after residents complain it's 'probably the worst in England'
Council chiefs have been forced to send back “Britain's saddest Christmas tree” after locals were left so shocked they thought it “was a joke”.
One wrote: “If it hadn’t have been so poor last year, I’d have agreed it was a mistake this time around. I think the council chanced their arm on a cheap tree… again. Surely someone saw it and picked it out? And surely it would have some resemblance when unpacked? This year’s ill-fated tree follows controversy over St Helen’s previous Christmas fir, which had no lights after the council decided to forgo illuminations for it all together. At the time, resident Paul Whittaker, who took a picture of the sun peeking through the spruce’s leaves, joked that it was “the only light” that would featured on the sad tree.
