THERE is a new date for the official switch on of Taunton Deane's Christmas lights after the event was  postponed due to extreme weather.

The decision was made by Pat Mayhew of TIME4, who organises the lights switch on event.

The event which has been postponed includes the VIP switching on the Christmas tree lights and those around the market house, as well markets on North Street and fun fairs organised for the evening.

These have now been rescheduled to take place next Sunday, December 6.
