Dear Editor
Have you noticed that in the Nantwich Town Council area there is not a poppy adorning any of the lamp-posts?
Other towns seem to have embraced the sense of Remembrance time, reminding us that the Poppy Appeal needs our support to continue the sterling work the RBL does in supporting the Armed Forces, past and present.
Nantwich Town Council is to launch its “Tree of Light” again this year offering residents a chance to remember loved ones at Christmas.
People are invited to make a donation of £5 to dedicate a bauble on the town square’s Tree of Light to a loved one or a special cause.
