Christmas celebrations in Mossley provisionally booked

DATES have been provisionally set for the Christmas lights switch-ons and events in Mossley and Micklehurst dependent on Covid-19 restrictions and guidance.

Mossley Town Councillors confirmed at their last meeting that the festivities are scheduled to take place in Micklehurst on Friday, November 27 then on the Market Ground in Top Mossley on Saturday, November 28.

A working group has been set up to look into what might be possible for the occasion, taking into account changing government guidance.

• Mossley Town Council granted £65 to the Mossley Traditional Whit Friday Committee so they can carry out the necessary DBS checks so Father Christmas can visit for events this festive season.
