I AM writing to say how disappointing the Christmas decorations were in Poole.

Street lights, two Christmas trees and that was it.

Why can we not have a competition for ‘best dressed window’ or just more enthusiasm all round?

Poole Quay had nothing to encourage visitors and was very quiet over the holiday period.

And the ‘Christmas market on the quay’ was awful. It only had a few stalls. Even Father Christmas arriving was nothing like past years. What is the matter with Poole? The town is dying, which is a great shame.
