I FAIL to see how a crush of people in Falklands Square for a switch on of lights is any less dangerous than a mass of people and all the encumbrances including street furniture, walking through a pedestrian area lined with shops.

After all that’s where people go all the time.

I suggest instead of a vehicle Santa walks from the Quay to the Dolphin Centre, after all our town crier is able to walk this without a problem.
