ST Peter’s Church tower will be included in Portishead’s Christmas illuminations this year.

Developer Crest Nicholson has stepped forward with its continued support for the town’s lights and has this year offered sponsorship to light up the tower.

Stuart Hamer, chairman of the lights committee said: “This is another improvement to our already fantastic lights display. The church tower can be seen from many different areas in Portishead and I know it will be appreciated by the community.”
