They have just spent more than £600,000 on ‘improving’ West Street and yet they begrudge spending out for a Christmas tree - what a bunch of ‘Bah Humbug’ Scrooges! To my mind the amount spent on West Street is extortionate and unnecessary. Their reckoning is that it will attract trade and visitors - hardly likely when we have no H. Samuel, Monsoon, Mothercare or Early Learning. Having no Christmas tree is definitely not going to attract visitors either. I still cannot quite believe it. Come on Horsham District Council - give us a lovely tree and make us proud of Horsham, not ashamed. Happy Christmas! J. FAIRCLOUGH (Mrs) Earlswood Close, Horsham
