March Town Council has been given thousands of pounds to put towards a Christmas tree after their wonky mishap in 2023.
The town found itself at the centre of a viral moment two years ago when their Christmas tree drew media attention for its unintentional wonky stature.
In 2024, the Town Council embraced the humour and requested a wonky tree as a playful nod to the original incident.
However, this year, they have decided to return to a more traditional presentation.
The Town Council were able to do so with the help of Persimmon Homes East Midlands Community Champions scheme, which saw £3,000 given to the authority to put towards it.
Michelle Jeffrey, the Deputy Managing Director of Persimmon Homes East Midlands handed the cheque over to Cllr Gary Christy, who played an active role in getting the Christmas tree installed.
He said: "We are grateful to Persimmon Homes for their generous support.
"While our tradition of celebrating the 'wonky' tree has provided plenty of fun over the years, this year's installation marks a fresh and welcome update to our festive display."
