Athea Community Council

Christmas  Street Lighting

 

The annual Church gate collection to help with the Christmas Street Lighting will take place this coming weekend, November 26th/27th at all Masses. Your help would be very much appreciated as it is becoming more expensive every year to run the Street Lighting with the cost of electricity going through the roof. The lighting adds a bit of life to the village over the Christmas season and it would be a shame not to be able to continue with it.
