--------------------

The Exeter Christmas light switch-on event in the city centre could be cancelled today as the decision is “under review”.

A meeting will be held at 10am this morning between Princesshay management and City Centre manager John Harvey on if the event will go ahead.

John Harvey told thisisexeter:

“We have been monitoring the weather closely overnight and the nature of the weather warning means we will have to have a very close look at if we should hold the event this evening.”

The city centre manager went on to stress that even if the actual switch on “event” is cancelled the lights will go on and shops will be open later as planned.

The Plymouth Christmas lights switch-on was cancelled yesterday as weather battered the city.

The decision will be announced at roughly 11am this morning, keep checking thisisexeter.co.uk for updates.
