A GOOD Christmas is in the pipeline for a seaside town.
Two 30ft Christmas trees, switched on at Redcar at the weekend, were a gift from Northumbrian Water, to thank the town's residents for their patience during the overhaul of 23km of ageing pipes.
The £1.4m scheme, which began last August, will improve water quality to 4,000 homes.
Phil Nixon, Northumbrian Water project manager, said: "Sponsoring the Christmas trees has enabled us to show our thanks for the continued support from the Redcar community. We would like to wish everyone in Redcar a merry Christmas."
Councillor Vera Moody, cabinet member for economic development with Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, said: "I am delighted that Northumbrian Water has been able to sponsor Redcar's Christmas trees.
"This contribution to the town centre's festive decorations is much appreciated and I hope the trees will be enjoyed by everyone who visits the town over the Christmas period."
