Vandals damage Christmas lights in Market Square

MARKET SQUARE businesses have been left disheartened after vandals targeted lights on the new Christmas tree.

A section of lights on the blue tree has been either snapped or cut.

Guernsey Police said it had been made aware of the damage.

Sonia Taylor, director of Bailiwick Estates – managing agents for Market buildings – said the culprit/s must have climbed over the railings to get to the tree.

'Somebody has purposely gone out of their way to ensure they break the lights.

'It is really disheartening. We try and put a lot of effort into our Town and encouraging people to come to Town and then things like this happen.'
