Light Up Fore St Christmas Campaign
Donation protected
The Fore st Collective is a group of local independent traders based on
Fore st and the West Quarter area of Exeter, we are working hard to try
and raise the profile of this part of town and our first mission is to
try and light up the street this Christmas.
As you may know the Council has withdrawn funding for the Christmas lights down here and rather than just sit here in the dark like the poor relations we thought "lets do it ourselves".....
So the idea is to install individual Xmas tree's with pretty lights on the fronts of all the buildings. The response from traders has been amazing , especially when you consider the recession and I think we all know how tight things are at the moment. We have a local firm of electricians onboard who are doing a great deal for us and we are tracking down all the actual building owners for support as well, for example South West land who own a whole block on Fore st are paying for the bulk of the cost asking only a small contribution from the business owners.
Nevertheless we still need to raise more funds to help out some who cant get the help from landlords . So what we are asking is, would anyone else like to donate towards the costs ?
Any amount is appreciated and however small it will all go towards the Light up the West Quarter campaign 2012.
Please help us light up our street :)
