A BIT OF EVENING COLOUR

With a definite drawing in of the evenings, KCA thought it a nice idea to put in a bit of nighttime colour downtown. 

These lights in the Heritage Centre Lane represent the first part of a plan to decorate the space in a number of different seasonal styles. 

For now, they offer a little cheer against the thought of coming colder times.
