ESTIVE fundraisers have thanked everyone who helped ensure charities received a total of £1,600 due to a Christmas lights spectacular.

The cash was raised thanks to donations sparked by the seasonal illuminations in Twinpike Way, Wigginton, whose residents have been making a special effort to light the neighbourhood up at Christmas in recent years.

The money is to be split between the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and York’s St Leonard’s Hospice. Resident Chris Archer said: “Thanks to all who came and raised this amount.

“We thought we wouldn’t really make so much with the financial situation the country is in and the short time the lights were up.”
