A MARKET town's Christmas light switch-on has been axed amid ongoing works.
Kington Town Council officials confirmed the decision today (October 23) after meeting the working party responsible for the town’s Christmas lights.
Works at Market Hall and Coach House have raised concerns about putting up the display.
The council said contractors found unexpected issues, forcing work to stop while they are resolved. No completion date can currently be confirmed, it added.

A spokesperson for the town council said: "Whilst this is extremely disappointing, both the town council and chamber of commerce feel that a substandard display would not be appropriate."
The spokesperson added that "every effort" is being made to organise a Christmas event to replace the usual 'switch on' evening and residents will be kept informed as soon as they have more details.
