FUNDRAISING events have already begun to make Taunton’s Christmas lights switch-on go with a bang.

Taunton Deane councillor Kelly Durdan is again promoting the Make Taunton Sparkle campaign which rescued last year’s ceremony.

This year’s switch-on is on Sunday, November 17, and collection pots will be distributed around the town soon.

Anyone wishing to make a donation or help organise an event should email cllr.k.durdan@tauntondeane.gov.uk
