RESIDENTS have raised almost £4,000 to brighten up their village this Christmas.
The fundraising committee launched to provide festive lights and decorations in Cockfield has already raised £3,700 through raffles, National Lottery bonus ball draws in the village pubs, golden jubilee events and donations.
A separate Community Christmas Projects Group has been set up with people from Cockfield and nearby Evenwood to strengthen links between the two through joint festive activities.
