Well done all

Just read the Greystones guide feature on this and am a bit disturbed about the attitude shown towards the businesses on payment for the lights. Do other towns vilify those that don't pay? In Greystones they don't put lights on your building to point out to everybody that you didn't pay. I find our lights under-whelming, Greystones has always put little effort into lighting the town so I don't blame anyone for not wanting to contribute.
I'm sure if there were public collection boxes organised around Halloween time there would be plenty of funds raised to cover the cost. After all, the lights are for every Greystones resident to enjoy so we should all be willing to contribute to their cost. A euro each would be enough for years of lights. Then there wouldn't be this pathetic bully boy tactics of "look who didn't pay this year"

Thank you for clarifying that those shops won't really be on Santa's naughty list.
I have nothing against Greystones guide, I like it, it's the towns approach to the lights I have a problem with

Don't focus on those who haven't contributed - focus on those that have. It's in their interest to show they are a business and understand that Christmas brings additional revenue to them. If those who can afford the fee pay it, hopefully they'll have good karma and a reasonable return for their good nature!
