Medway 'calls off Christmas'
Available for over a year
Medway Council has cancelled all its Christmas lights and switch-on events this year, after a report predicted it faces potential bankruptcy. Council leader Vince Maple said he made the "sad and difficult decision" after identifying a potential overspend of £17m for this financial year and the move would save £75,000. Reporter Michael Keohan has been speaking to him at the Labour Party Conference.
