Havering Council faced backlash for cancelling Christmas events due to budget cuts, yet Marlborough Highways' £20,000 donation will ensure festive celebrations continue across town centres.
Cllr Ray Morgon stated that the council had to make "urgent savings" and could not fund Christmas lights or events due to year-on-year government funding cuts.
Despite the council's budget constraints, the generous contributions from Marlborough Highways and local community groups enable Havering to maintain its festive traditions this Christmas.
Romford MP Andrew Rosindell criticized the council's actions, accusing them of "cancelling Christmas", igniting significant outrage among local residents concerned about holiday festivities.
