Brenda from Morton Avenue was awarded with a trophy for her efforts as her house was named as having the best display in this year’s Best Christmas Lights Competition.

The annual competition sees houses in the town decorate to impress so that Santa can spot their house from the sky.

It comes as Daddy Cabs and Thing-Me-Bobs were named Best Dressed Windows in the town with their winter wonderland displays last week.
