YOUR readers were right when they said the York lights are terrible (October 17).

There is nothing wrong with the lights themselves but they should be coloured bulbs because the silver and gold bulbs on most of the displays blend in with the street lamps and are not noticed thus making them a waste of money.

Come on York, use the same displays but put in coloured bulbs and see the difference!

Have a look at Wigginton, Stabler Close and Burrill Drive and see the difference coloured lights make.
