Community gathers on George Lane for Christmas lights switch-on

The South Woodford Society hosted their third Christmas lights switch-on event on George Lane at the beginning of December.

“It was a great success, with the community gathered to enjoy some festive cheer. Children lined up to meet Santa as he gifted sweets. The Mayor of Redbridge counted down, and as the lights came on, each child turned on their glow sticks to create a sea of light. We all enjoyed the brass band, a performance from Oakdale School and a carol singalong. A pantomime cow added to the fun!” said a spokesperson.
