SHOULD BRIGG CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SWITCH ON TAKE PLACE LATER THAN 5PM?

Brigg has been switching on the Christmas illuminations at 5pm for many years.
But should the start time be reviewed?
On Brigg Blog's main report about the switch on, festive fair and late night shopping which we posted early last Saturday morning, a comment was posted which makes an interesting point.
Karl Stead said he missed the turn on  because, in his opinion, it was too early in the evening.
"Next year, can you take into account the people that work and finish at 5pm?" he asked.
He was also delayed by the heavy traffic and parking, these factors being allied to the popularity of the event  no doubt.
"Apart from that, a very well turned out event. Thank you," he added.
We have forwarded his comments to Brigg Town Council, which manages the event and provides the lights.
If the switch on was put back half-an-hour or an hour, would this be a popular or unpopular move? And would it mean increased numbers attending this fine spectacle?
If you have a view, either way, post a comment and have a say.
