Ballymena's Christmas Lights WILL be officially switched on this week after all!
TUV Councillor Timothy Gaston had wanted the ceremony postponed for 7 days, to avoid clashing with Remembrance Sunday this weekend.

DUP Councillor Paul Reid supported this move, which contains a significant compromise..
However Councillor Gaston thinks the decision is muddled.
